Exploring Your Book’s Potential Beyond the Printed Page with Anna Termine

Ideal for writers who want to know more about subsidiary rights

WEBINAR • Saturday, May 2, 2026 • 10am-11:15pm PST 

Subsidiary rights are one of the most dynamic—and potentially lucrative—aspects of the publishing industry and yet one of the most difficult to obtain. From international translations to big-screen adaptations, "subrights" expand your book’s reach and can generate exciting new revenue streams that further sell your book in its existing formats too.

Join veteran rights specialist Anna Termine for a primer on the rights & licensing business. Whether you are an aspiring author or a seasoned pro, this session will demystify the protocols, terms, and strategies used to pitch rights and also provide a reality check in regard to the possibilities and the long trajectory involved from pitching to actual sale and the steps in between.


In this webinar, we will learn about:

  • The Fundamentals: A breakdown of what subsidiary rights are and how the lifecycle of a deal works.

  • The Categories: Protocols and industry standards for Foreign, Audio, and Film/TV markets.

  • Types of Licensing deals and Definitions: Understand the language, from options to loglines.

  • Strategic Planning: How to determine your rights strategy and whether you need an agent to navigate these deals.
