Contract Advice

Publishing Contracts

If you are unagented, have been offered a contract from a publishing company and wish to seek some advice on this contract, some agents may, at their discretion, give contract advice in exchange for a fee (in accordance with clause 5 in the ALAA Code of Practice).

Please note that agents are not able to negotiate this contract on your behalf – they are only able to provide advice. If you have any questions about this service, please email us.

Literary Agency Agreement

The Australian Society of Authors provides a template contract for a literary agency agreement. While ALAA has consulted on this template, not all terms are mutually agreed.
