i got a chapter accepted for publication (yay!) and am preparing the packet of materials to send to the editors, including the publication agreement. i will be attaching the amendment to the publication agreement that i made. a particularly disagreeable clause in the agreement they want me to sign reads: “Furthermore, author(s) cannot post the contents of the chapter on any personal website or other sites, or distribute the work to others in either electronic or print forms.” if i accepted that clause it would mean that i can’t send my mom a copy of my chapter or post it in my institution’s repository.
i’ll report back with any comments from the publisher. stay tuned!
