How do rights/contract work in case of anthologies?
As I understand it, the "normal" workflow is, as the author you get an advance from a publisher, and when the book is published and revenue exceeds the advance, you get the royalties.
You mention you sign the contract with the authors and pay them, which sounds like a one-time deal.
If it's not confidential, how does this work, and how do original publishers (if any) figure into this?
