HKA Partner Juli Saitz will present a the Textbook and Academic Authors Annual Meeting on Wednesday June 22nd at 12pm EST on the topic of Auditors, Royalties and Lawyers.
Program title: Auditors, Royalties and Lawyers, Oh My!
Authors are often mystified when reviewing their royalty statements: What do the codes mean? How are royalties calculated? How does this relate to my contract? If there’s a mistake, what should I do? Figuring out what to do about your royalty statements often requires a team approach between an auditor and a lawyer – first to find the errors and then to fix them. Juli Saitz and attorney Brenda Ulrich of Archstone Law, will discuss how auditors and lawyers collaborate to identify mistakes and underpayments in an author’s royalty payments, as well as how to address these issues with your publisher, get them fixed, and possibly improve your contract and royalty statements to avoid similar problems in the future. Drawing on their extensive experience representing textbook authors, Juli and Brenda will discuss how auditors and lawyers can partner together to get the best outcomes for authors.
