Abstract:
|
Writing a textbook takes a lot of work, but a successful product brings in royalties. Is it ethical to collect royalty income by adopting a text that you've written as the required text in a course that you are teaching? And what about getting a contract with a publisher in the first place? How can you form a good working relationship with a publisher preserving your rights? I will share opinions and experiences.
