COPYRIGHT INFORMATION

currently being updated
sorry for the inconvenience

Because the founder of RockWay Press is a published writer, RockWay understands the importance of an author's maintaining ownership of his own creative work. You can learn from other authors' experiences.

RockWay Press & The Author's Copyright

A book belongs to the person who writes it. Therefore, RockWay Press copyrights all its books in the authors' name and registers the authors' copyrights with the Library of Congress.

The author, in signing the contract, gives RockWay the right to publish the book only. RockWay does not own the book. The author does.

Furthermore, since RockWay treats all its authors as its founders wish to be treated by publishers, all subsidiary rights (movie, book-club, foreign rights, etc.) also remain with the authors.

RockWay does not acquire or sell an author's subsidiary rights. If a RockWay author wishes to pursue those sales avenues, he must hire an agent to do so.
