Anthology Contributor Agreement Kit - Publisher Edition

Set the terms for each writer whose work will appear in your anthology.

Is this the right kit?

Use this kit for writers whose work will appear in your anthology. An anthology is a book with work by several writers. Complete a separate agreement with each writer. To publish a whole book under an agreement with its author, see Book Publishing Kit - Publisher Edition. For a shared project with another publisher, see Co-Publishing and Partnership Agreement Kit - Publisher Edition.

What’s included

• A Companion Guide to explain the documents and choices (PDF)
• An anthology contributor agreement, reversion confirmation, and optional external AI license rider (Word)
• A worked reversion confirmation example (PDF)
• A contributor rights and permissions inventory (Word), publication and rights-return checklist (PDF), and royalty allocation ledger (Excel)

What this kit helps you plan

• The contribution you may publish and the uses the writer allows.
• Delivery, editing, credit, and any agreed payment.
• The writer’s promises about the work and needed permissions.

Before you fill it in

Start with the anthology plan and the contribution you want from each writer. Use a separate agreement for each contributor. Make sure the permissions fit how you plan to publish and promote the collection.
