The process of writing a book is different for each and every author. From writing a daily devotional that will guide others on their own spiritual journey, sharing the personal story of your relationship with God, or even crafting an illustrated book that can spread good values to audiences of all ages. Your book will always be your creation, but what happens after you publish it? Do you have to forfeit the rights to your book? When you publish with Cloverly Christian, you will retain the rights to your book forever. It is as simple as that.
Publishing a book can be intimidating if you are a first-time author looking to share your work with your community. From the moment you sign your contract with Cloverly Christian, you can rest assured that you are in safe hands and your book will always be your intellectual property. That includes the cover that our team helps craft for you, any illustrations in the book, and even individual page designs. You will always own the rights to your book after it is published.
Your rights are protected through our publishing contract, also known as a publishing agreement. Our agreements are short, concise, and to the point, usually only about three pages long, not fifty or more. Your signed agreement with Cloverly Christian protects your rights every step of the way in language everyone can understand. In everyday language, you will see that your book will always be your complete intellectual property, even for work that is done on your behalf. You also are entitled to all proceeds from sales of your book for two years after publication and not until you recoup your initial investment.
Perhaps most importantly, the Cloverly Christian publishing agreement grants all our authors final approval at every single step of the process. From edits made to the manuscript to final cover art to any illustrations, you will always have final say in what is in your finished product. We want the fruits of your labor to be sent out into the world exactly as you envisioned it.
