When it comes to author negotiations, Florrie Kichler has it relatively easy.
“As a publisher, I do the reissues of classic children’s book series,” Kichler says. “Most authors are dead.”
Of course, even with writers who have shuffled off this mortal coil, there are still issues of rights and payments, and negotiations with families or estates. As the president of Indianapolis-based Patria Press and president of the PMA, the Independent Book Publishers Association, Kichler has an excellent vantage point on the challenges faced by publishers when negotiating contracts, whether with those living or dead.
