What are the procedures for purchasing copyright? Intention to buy books
The intention to buy books is closely related to the information obtained by the publishing house and the book publishing plan. Publishers that introduced foreign-related books can browse the home pages of foreign publishers through the Internet to understand their book structures. The annual Beijing International Book Fair and Frankfurt International Book Fair are also good opportunities to get to know foreign publishing houses. Some world-renowned publishing institutions will come to the scene in person, such as Pearson Education, McGraw Hill Education, Thomson Learning Group and so on. Veterans who introduce foreign books will regularly receive the publication catalogues of foreign partners (some of which are obtained from agents) and choose topics of interest to our agency.
Suggestions for purchasing copyright
Submitting a copyright proposal is the material submitted to a foreign publishing house after the publishing house approves a book, including the expected market reaction of our institution to this book and our general plan to build this book. In order to improve the confidence of foreign publishers in the Chinese version of this book. Specific elements generally include the estimated pricing, first printing volume, estimated sales volume and promotion plan of Chinese version.
consult
After calculation by foreign publishing houses, the two parties will negotiate on factors such as advance payment, royalties and publication date. For books with different key levels and fields, the corresponding advance payment is also different. Generally, it is between $65,438+0,000 and $5,000. Of course, there is also a case where the advance payment of a book reaches tens of thousands. The advance payment is not refundable, that is, as long as the contract is signed, no matter how the market response of the book is, it will not be refunded. There are several different tax rates. For example, some foreign publishing houses stipulate that the edition tax rate of some books is 0 ~ 5000 (sold part), and the Chinese edition price is charged at 7%, 5000 ~ 10000 (sold part), 8%, and the sold part above 10000 is charged at 9%. This figure is not fixed, and there are slight differences among publishers.
sign a contract
Signing a contract is the contract generation stage. Generally written in English, the basic elements of a contract include signing date, authorization, translation matters, payment, copyright life, term, royalty report, surplus books, subsidiary copyright, etc.
Payment and publication
After the contract is signed and the advance payment is paid, the publishing house will start its publishing activities, which will not be repeated here.
Settlement and royalty report
After publication, it is generally necessary to send the Chinese version to the original publisher (6-8 volumes). Because the delivery time in China is three months, if the recipient is unknown, foreign post offices will send the sample books back to the original address. The return time is also 3 months, so both parties need to be considerate of each other in the way and time of sending sample books. It is suggested that one sample book be sent to foreign publishing houses by air and the rest by sea. In this way, the delivery cost of our publishing house has not increased significantly, and foreign publishing houses can also see the translated version in time, which is conducive to the smooth cooperation between the two sides.
