 < back to full question list < back to academic authors question list < back to textbook authors question list Q: "My contract calls for a 10 percent royalty on sales of books sold out of the US. When I look at the export sales it looks like the books are being sold much cheaper under the category of Export then they are for US sales. The thing that really bothers me is that my contract states something like 'The Publisher may permit others to publish, broadcast,...The net amount of any compensation received from such shall be divided equally between the Publisher and the Author. ... ' What happened here was the Publishler sold the rights (for Spanish versions) to a subsidiary of itself for a very small price and so my royalties on these books are very tiny even thought there are significant sales."
