What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CT
My wife is a published author from a small publishing company in Massachusetts. She received an authors contract at a 10% royalty rate when the book was originally published. Since then, she has created additional products that relate to the material of the book, and the publisher asked that my wife sign another contract, but with the same terms. We were under the impression that additional products would be paid at a higher percentage. From what I can gather in my own research, subsidiary products warrant as much as 50% royalties. Am I mistaken? Thanks for your help!
