Publishing Route Education

Overview

Publishing Route Education is a structured explanation of how the publishing industry actually works — the roles, the routes, the rights and the money — so that every decision you make about your book is an informed one.

The sessions are educational, not promotional: how acquisitions work, what an advance is, what rights are and why they matter, how self-publishing economics differ from traditional royalties. Written reference notes accompany every session.

What this service includes

• The publishing ecosystem and its roles
• Traditional, hybrid and self-publishing economics
• Rights, contracts and licensing basics
• How acquisitions and commissioning decisions are made
• Written reference notes for every session
