TITLE MANAGEMENT FOR CONTRACTS
BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The Firebrand Contract Management module allows publishers to manage and maintain author-publisher contract specific details. Multiple contracts can be created for a title or group of titles. Traditional royalty author contracts, Work-For-Hire fee based contracts, and other contracts for creative contributors can be managed in Contracts. Manage the contract process with contact preparation status reports, advance payment status reports, cash flow analysis reports, content license expiration, author approvals and more.
BENEFITS OF TITLE MANAGEMENT FOR CONTRACTS
- Capture contracts in Title Management at the time you know it best: Acquisition
- Prevent file drawer confusion by eliminating lost contracts due to non-standard filing methods
- Know the status of all contracts in process by tracking movement of the contract back and forth between publisher and author/agent
- Understand the true Advance Payment cash flow impact by marrying advance payment dates on a contract with real-life dates on the production schedule such as Contract Signing, Manuscript Delivery and Publication Date
- Efficiently manage your licensed content for a title by knowing what you have licensed and when it expires
