What does the Author/Agent relationship consist of?
The specifics of the relationship between an author and agent will vary depending on the nature of the work in question, the author’s needs, and the agent’s policies and practices. At a minimum, the relationship should include: • An understanding as to what works of the author-and what rights in those works-are covered by the relationship. • Agreement as to the compensation the agent is to receive for the agent’s services. • Agreement as to what expenses of the agent are to be reimbursed by the author, and how that reimbursement is to be made.
