be given once the books are delivered, and the remaining copy will be given on the day of the launch. H. Who owns the copyright to the book? The author/editor owns the copyright to his/her book. All requests for permission on the use of any part of the book will be referred to the author and the publisher. I. Is there a contract between the author and the publisher? A publishing agreement is signed by the author and the president of the university. The contract will be given to the author for review before the editing process of his/her manuscript begins. J. Is the author expected to participate in the promotion of his/her book? The UP Press has put in place a new, aggressive marketing plan. As part of this plan, the author may be invited to participate in activities that will help promote his/her book (e.g., lecture tours, book conferences, television appearances, etc.). UP Press holds a mass book launch at least twice a year. An author may also opt to hold an individual book launch provided that • all expenses for the said launch are shouldered by the author or his/her sponsor • all arrangements for the individual launch are made by the author (e.g., venue, program, food, etc.). NOTE: The author should officially inform the UP Press about the
schedule of an individual book launch as well as other event details at least seven working days prior to the date of the launch. UP Press can assist in the promotion and distribution of invitations to the UP faculty and its officials. It can also upload the invitations to its social network accounts and can sell the books during the launch or consign copies to the author or the event organizer (UP Press’s terms of payment for consigned books shall apply). In case an individual book launch falls on a weekend and requires the presence of a UP Press staff to work on the said date, the author will be shouldering the overtime pay of the UP Press personnel involved.
