The Full Publishing Agreement is essential when an author wishes to grant publishing rights to a publisher under English and Welsh law. This document establishes the complete commercial and legal framework for the publication of a work, covering everything from manuscript delivery to royalty payments. It's particularly important for protecting both parties' interests in the publishing process, ensuring compliance with UK copyright law, and setting clear expectations for the publication journey. The agreement should be used when entering into any formal publishing arrangement, whether for fiction, non-fiction, academic works, or other publishable content.
