Getting Greedy with it?

Categories: publishing and wtf?

In an unprecedented rights grab, Simon and Schuster has finagled a way to hold onto rights for the length of copyright so that they never revert to the author. As if writers didn’t have enough problems. We make the least out of the deal, so the glom is not appreciated. An article in PW suggests agents rethink submitting to this house and bar them from participating in auctions unless they are willing to forgo this new clause in doing so. Can’t say I blame them. Ouch!
