If you're an author or prospective author, you've probably seen extensive publisher agreements in legalese. This workshop aims to help you understand your rights as an author and creator, the differences in license types and transfer of copyright, and how you can negotiate with publishers using a ready-made agreement addendum.

Learning Objectives:

1. Participants will understand the foundational basics of copyright.
2. Participants will learn about the difference between non-exclusive licenses, exclusive licenses, and copyright transfers.
3. Participants will understand their ability to modify publisher agreements through the SPARC Author Addendum
