I've heard authors say that they try to be aggressive in their reversion of rights clause so that if their books go "out of print" they can get copies themselves to sell on Amazon or they can put it back into print on iUniverse. Could you talk about this? Also all the related issues, such as: Is the cover art usually just licensed or is it usually bought outright? What other things does the author not "own" of the original printing?<br /><br />I guess I'm asking how an author can prepare him- or herself for this eventuality?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
