Pubmatch Now Allows Book Rights Transactions on Their Site

Global publishers can buy or sell international book rights easily and quickly by communicating directly with the buyers and sellers on the PubMatch website.

PubMatch, a revolutionary online resource and an international network, plans to launch a new feature to facilitate direct transactions between book rights buyers and rights sellers. This online platform, which operates on a freemium model, has now taken an initiative to offer file transfers, sampling, and various other aspects that allow book rights sellers to interact productively.

The new international book rights transaction feature is powered by Copyright Clearance Center, CBE, and PubMatch, who split a 30% commission on any deals. This feature offers buyers and sellers complete flexibility to modify a boilerplate contract, which allows you to determine variables such as term length, royalties, and format. It allows you to pay the transaction fees via a credit card or an invoice.

By launching this new feature, PubMatch aims to help global publishers monetize their backlist and self-published authors, who don’t have a literary agent to sell rights on their behalf, learn about aspects such as foreign rights sale or their tax exposure. With the launch of this feature, Independent Publishers Group is planning to add 76,000 titles to the PubMatch system.

In addition to facilitating direct interactions with international global publishers, distributors, and individual right holders, Combined Book Exhibit (CBE) is cultivating an effectual network of affiliates to promote their book rights service throughout the world. With this unique feature, PubMatch would be disintermediating the way book rights are sold, offering a great opportunity for the right clients.
