Signature

September 3, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

(1) Printed sheet or ‘section’ folded into 16 or 32 pages. (2) The act of finalizing an author contract, hence for example (of an author advance) ‘one third paid on signature’.

This definition is extracted (and expanded on) from the book Getting Published: A Companion for the Humanities and Social Sciences by Gerald Jackson and Marie Lenstrup.
