Protecting Your Intellectual Property
As an author, you are also
a copyright holder! It's important for you to know what rights you control for
your work, and consider what rights publishers might need before signing any
publishing agreements. Many publishing agreements require a complete transfer
of copyright from you to the publisher, which means that you no longer have the
ability to use your own work without permission.
