Clause 16
This creator-friendly clause is aimed at writers, including academic authors, journalists, and literary authors.
This clause’s language is generous to authors; it is creator-friendly.
CLAUSE TEXT:
After the period of one year, the publisher and author will jointly share the rights. This means the writer is free to sell the work elsewhere, but [publisher] also retains the exclusive rights to reprint and/or electronically publish all articles appearing in the magazine.
EXPLANATION:
This clause follows one that granted exclusive rights to a magazine publisher. After one year, the author regains all rights in the work but this grant back is non-exclusive: the publisher will continue to be permitted to publish the work, including online.
