Subsidiary Considerations: Book Club Rights - podcast

Agent and rights expert Judy Klein shares her expertise on trends in book clubs and how book club rights work. She says that there was a time when having your book selected by the Book of the Month Club or the Literary Guild made a huge difference. But that’s no longer the case. Nowadays, we mostly think of a book club as getting together with a group of friends. But book clubs can still be important. The large clubs don’t have the same clout they once did, but they still reach audiences. There was a time when selling your book club rights resulted in a lot of money, but not anymore. It’s still satisfying to have a book club wanting your book and putting their imprimatur on it, but the cash amounts won’t be as big.
