Your agent will negotiate the terms for your book publishing contract. Most agents deal with specific publishing houses so often that they already have a preset contract with the publisher that outlines agreed upon terms. Then all the agent needs to do is negotiate a few rights and terms particular to the author. The four most important areas the agent will negotiate on your behalf are:

The manuscript delivery and acceptance. The advance. Royalty payments. The subsidiary rights.

Manuscript Delivery and Acceptance

The publishing contract will outline the date the manuscript must be delivered and stipulate that the publisher is only obligated to accept, pay for, and publish a manuscript that is satisfactory in form and content. Your agent will work with you to ensure the delivery date is practical and can be realistically met. She will also try to insert wording in the agreement that obligates the publisher to assist you in editing a specific number of drafts before the publisher can reject the manuscript. An advance is the payment you receive prior to your book’s publication. The advance is often based upon an estimate of your book’s first year sales. The amount is an advance against future earnings. Advances range from $5,000 to $500,000 (or more for major “celebrity” authors). The advance is broken into two payments. One payment of 50% is issued at the time the contract is signed and the remaining payment is issued upon delivery and acceptance of the complete manuscript. Your agent will negotiate to get you the highest advance possible. Of course, the publisher wants to pay as small an advance as possible because they want to ensure the entire amount they pay you upfront will be earned back through your royalties. Since you do not have to return any of your advance - unless the book is cancelled due to the author breaching the contract - the publisher loses the portion of the advanced amount that you do not earn back through sales of your book.

Royalty Payments

Your agent will ensure you earn royalties for sales of your book that are appropriate with industry standards. Most authors receive a royalty of 10% of the book’s retail price for the first 5,000 copies sold, a royalty of 12% of the book’s retail price on the next 5,000 copies sold, and a royalty of 15% of the book’s retail price on all copies sold after that. Your agent will make sure that the publisher provides a bi-annual accounting of your royalties.

Subsidiary Rights

Subsidiary rights are all the rights (except for publishing rights) that are associated with your book that are available to sell. They include:

Glossary

Definition of DESKTOP PUBLISHING SOFTWARE:

Also known as “page layout” software, this term refers to any software that is used for “desktop publishing”, or the creation and editing of documents on a general purpose computer. This software allows a variety of elements to be combined on a page (including text, graphics, and placeholders for elements that will be added later) and arranged and edited to produce the best visual result. The final product may be printed (for example, newsletters, brochures, adverts, posters, reports, books, magazines, business cards etc) or displayed on a screen (for example, websites, ebooks and enewsletters, PDFs, slideshows etc). Where word processing software allows for finer control over text and graphics software allows for finer control over graphics, desktop publishing allows for fine control when bringing these elements together and arranging them within a single document. This includes the spacing and alignment, styles and themes, and colour and transparency used. Documents may be created from scratch or developed from existing (or pre-designed) templates or style sheets. Desktop publishing often uses PostScript (a page description language developed by Adobe) as this allows for the creation of documents that can be printed at a high resolution. Common examples of desktop publishing software include Adobe FrameMaker, Adobe PageMaker, Adobe InDesign, Corel Ventura, CorelDraw, Microsoft Publisher, PageStream, and QuarkXPress.
