These authors will find their way to market via
ebook self -
publishing platforms, and once they learn they can do it better, faster, more profitably and more enjoyably on their own, it'll be tougher and more expensive for publishers to
win them back.
However, by submitting a work for consideration in the contest, the
winning author grants the American Bar Association and / or the ABA Journal the non-exclusive and perpetual right to
publish the work in its periodicals, books, anthologies,
ebooks, audiobooks or any other publication
platform, whether print or digital, without further compensation.
