A Publishing Agreement is a legal contract between authors and publishers that sets out how a work will be published and distributed in Indonesia. It covers essential rights like copyright ownership, royalty payments, and the publisher's obligations to market and distribute the work across different formats.

Under Indonesian Copyright Law No. 28 of 2014, these agreements protect both creators and publishers by clearly defining licensing terms, territorial rights, and revenue sharing arrangements. The contract typically specifies important details like manuscript deadlines, editing processes, and what happens if either party needs to end the agreement early.

Use a Publishing Agreement before releasing any written, visual, or digital content through a publisher in Indonesia. This applies to books, magazines, academic journals, educational materials, and even digital content platforms. The agreement becomes essential when negotiating with Indonesian publishers or when planning international distribution of your work.

The timing is critical: sign it before sending your final manuscript or content to the publisher, but after reaching initial terms. This protects your intellectual property rights under Law No. 28 of 2014 and ensures clear terms for royalties, distribution rights, and marketing responsibilities. Many creators need this when moving from informal discussions to formal publishing arrangements.

A Publishing Agreement differs significantly from an Agency Agreement in the Indonesian legal context. While both involve intellectual property and representation, their core purposes and structures serve distinct needs in the publishing industry.

• Primary Purpose: Publishing Agreements focus on the specific terms of publishing and distributing a work, while an Agency Agreement establishes broader representation rights for marketing multiple works to publishers
• Party Relationships: Publishing Agreements create a direct relationship between author and publisher, whereas Agency Agreements form a relationship between author and agent who then deals with publishers
• Scope of Rights: Publishing Agreements grant specific publishing rights for a particular work, while Agency Agreements cover representation rights for multiple potential publishing deals
• Payment Structure: Publishing Agreements detail royalties and advances from sales, while Agency Agreements typically specify commission percentages on all deals secured
