What does "exclusivity" mean exactly? Can I publish with other companies, too? |
|
 |
Our standard publishing and licensing agreement assigns Playscripts the exclusive right to handle the publication of acting editions, the licensing of professional and amateur performance rights, and related rights. Playscripts thus becomes the only entity authorized to exercise such rights. This would mean that you could not publish the particular play in question with another licensing house (e.g. Dramatists Play Service).
An exclusivity arrangement with Playscripts would probably not prohibit you from having a play published in a trade anthology with a company like Applause or Smith & Kraus, however, because their agreements are usually non-exclusive.
All of this information is laid out in the agreement between Playscripts and the author, sent to the author in the event of a publication offer. |
