Overview : what do you want to do with your book? -- Introduction -- How will you increase your book's availability? -- Do you currently have the right to do what you want with your book? -- Are you eligible to revert rights under the terms of your contract? -- Exercising a right of reversion under the terms of your contract -- How to proceed without a right of reversion -- Be read.
Summary: Understanding Rights Reversion is a guide that arms authors with the information and strategies they need to revive their books that might otherwise be out of print, difficult to track down, or no longer enjoying commercial success. Today's technologies offer tremendous opportunities for authors to make their out-of-print or otherwise unavailable books more widely available. Some authors want to revive their books by creating e-books, while others may want to use print-on-demand technology or deposit their books in openly accessible repositories. We hope that the guide empowers authors to advocate on their own behalf to make their works more widely available, and we believe that many authors can work with their publishers to increase their books' availability by following the strategies articulated in the guide: Be Reasonable, Be Flexible, Be Persistent, and Be Creative.
