In “Take Back Your Book,” Katlyn Duncan tackles a subject that is vastly under-discussed yet highly valuable to any author who has either signed, or is looking to sign, the rights of their work to a publisher.
Woven with invaluable first-hand experience from someone who has been through the process of working out what the next steps are with their book, as well as anecdotes and interviews from a number of other authors, this book stands as the ultimate guide to empowering yourself to claim back your work and figure out your next steps to publishing domination.

“Take Back Your Book” is a super comprehensive guide that takes you from initial reversion request all the way through to retrieving your rights, the decisions you need make, future options, self-publishing and beyond. Written with humor, honesty and a wealth of experience, this is a must read for anyone wanting to take back their book rights.

The author faced a problem shared by many others who have published through traditional publishers: How to resurrect sales of a book or series once the publisher is no longer interested in promoting or selling it. This is a limited audience, but for anyone in the writing business the answers can mean money and creative control.
She outlines different strategies and their advantages and disadvantages. Her research includes many Q&A email interviews with other authors for their success (and failure) stories. The book includes many lists including definitions, steps-by-step plans, and checklists.
Despite the best efforts of the narrator, the audiobook format that I heard this in is meant for written reference. Bulleted lists and Q&A templates do not translate well into an audiobook. Kindle or paperback would be more useful.
