Wow, good point! For some reason, I thought of foreign rights as foreign sales in general, not as the subset that needs to be translated etc. But I can think of several countries off the top of my head where they stock English-language books (even if that’s not the country’s official language) so what you’re saying makes total sense.

Thanks for a great post!

Second… did you ever negotiate for the book author to have first try at screenplay adaptation of his/her material? Or even script approval? Yep, hard to get, but it’s another payday.

(Yes, I know, the author’s material would have to make a helluva wake in the entertainment world and said author would have to have alot of “HEAT” to demand this, but why not start kickin’ and scratchin’ sooner than later. Hollywood does)!

Of course, all of this goes to the central question of “control” of the author’s work, and how to get the most from it. It’s not just the single copy of a book in hand, but the years of writing, honing, rewriting, learning by rejection, gut twising, angst, worry, paid and unpaid bills… simply put… the writer’s life and reasonable recompense!

“If it ain’t on the page, it ain’t on the stage!”

Someone, somewhere, (insert author’s name here), “thunk” it all up and put it to words. Don’t let the “suits” piss on it!

Haste yee back 😉
