Julie of the Wolves

Open Road will not have to pay far more than it made from an ebook edition of Julie of the Wolves. On the other hand, HarperCollins' inclusive interpretation of an older contract was not cast aside either. Publishers Weekly has the story.

While ostensibly a copyright matter, the case was always more about e-book royalties. In court filings, it was revealed that HarperCollins had offered to do an e-book edition with George, but refused to budge from its standard 25% net royalty, which George, before her death in May 2012, deemed fundamentally unfair (Open Road pays a standard 50% e-book royalty).
