\"Digital<\/a>By Joanne Kim<\/p>\n

If you are licensing content from a publisher or contracting directly with an author, evaluate not only the print rights, but digital rights as well. Consider these key elements when developing new contracts for digital publications:<\/p>\n

1. Electronic rights
\n<\/strong>Be sure to contextualize the electronic rights that you would like to establish. Important aspects to consider are the rights to adding supplementary materials, translating, and publishing special editions. Keep in mind that these supplements to the electronic versions will not always appear in the print version.<\/p>\n

2. Author copies
\n<\/strong>Since there may not be actual copies to give to the author, think of a creative way to distribute the author\u2019s copies in a digital form. For instance, you could use a promotional code to let the author gain access to download his or her copy of the e-book.<\/p>\n

3. Rights Reversion
\n<\/strong>Printed books go out of print. E-books do not. Use a number of books sold or a minimum royalty threshold for a book to be reverted or discontinued publishing if sales dip below those levels during a year.<\/p>\n

Stay aware of the evolving world of digital publishing with these resources:
