This workshop focuses on publishing contracts for scholarly monographs. Which terms of your publishing agreement might you want to negotiate? How? When you’re working on behalf of a publisher, what terms do you seek? Explore these and other questions about publishing contracts in this workshop hosted by the U-M Library Copyright Office. After a brief overview of negotiation techniques and the law in this area, participants will negotiate mock publishing contracts. The group will then reconvene to debrief those negotiations. Please register via TeachTech or by contacting Ana at anaenriq@umich.edu.
