Action on Authors' Rights

Manifesto

Authors have the right to

• have their intellectual property protected by the state
• have their moral rights properly acknowledged and protected by the state
• decide whether and where they are going to publish, and in what format(s)
• freely negotiate their own publishing contracts and licensing agreements
• negotiate in person, or through agents of their own choice, as they prefer

Action on Authors' Rights is a grassroots group set up to campaign in support of authors' rights.
