Creative Rights
Primary Rights:
These are the editorial rights to your work.
It is the right to be able to change your work. It is the right to sell your work. If you sell them to a publisher, you lose the control of these rights. This doesn't mean you lose all say, but you do give away final approval to someone else. They may still want you to work on the project and they may still value your input, but you will not have the ultimate say so. This is a very important item to have settled in your publishing contract.
If you pay someone to print or publish your work, you should still own your own rights, therefore you can still shop them around WHILE you are making money on your project. You still have complete creative control over your work.
Subsidiary/Secondary Rights:
Even if you have sold Primary Rights, if you have not addressed subsidiary or secondary rights, you still own them. These include: Translation Rights, Audio Books, Dramatic Rights (film, TV), Multimedia rights (CD), Commercial rights (Toys, Games, T-shirts, mugs, etc).
Don't Let Your Book Die With You:
Your book's intellectual property (i.e. creative and subsidiary rights) are assets.
