Signing a contract with an advance that turns out to be all you get paid for the book is not at all "really a work for hire contract" -- you could say it turns out to really be a flat fee contract, but that's not the same thing. A "work for hire" contract has to do with who owns the copyright, not the payment structure. If your publisher gives you a $10,000 advance on your book and you don't earn enough royalties to break the $10K mark, the book is still yours. (And there are work for hire contracts that pay royalties rather than flat fees!) |
