Who Should Market Ancillary Rights?
A publisher can sell their ancillary rights to a third party, however, many publisher do not have the time, expertise or contacts. Because of this, many publishers hire a company to market the ancillary rights. International Book Management Corporation specializes in the marketing of ancillary rights. When we are successful in exploiting a certain ancillary right, IBMC is compensated by receiving a small commission which is normally divided between the publisher and the author’s share. While this small commission reduces the amount of the compensation to both the publisher and author, the sale of the ancillary right brings in money to both the publisher and author that otherwise they would not have received.
