How do I retain full control of my book’s rights when self-publishing?
To retain full control of your book’s rights when self-publishing, it’s important to carefully choose your publishing platform and terms. Unlike traditional publishing, where rights may be sold to the publisher, self-publishing allows you to maintain ownership of your intellectual property.
When using a self-publishing service in London or platforms like Amazon KDP or IngramSpark, ensure that the service offers non-exclusive agreements. This means you retain all rights to your book, including distribution, royalties, and the ability to publish on other platforms.
Additionally, avoid contracts that require long-term exclusivity or transfer of rights. Always read the fine print and, if needed, consult a legal expert to ensure you maintain full creative and financial control of your work.
