My publisher has not issued a royalty report or payment for 1.5 years despite many emails and calls from me. I have no way of knowing how many books I've sold since the publisher has withheld that information from me. (Though I know it's probably close to 1,000 books from the number of book signings I've had.) Since this is a breach of contract (and I don't anticipate the publisher publishing my next contracted book b/c of money issues), what is my next course of action?
Can I send a "termination of contract" letter from myself or do I need to hire a lawyer to do this?
What do I do if the publisher refuses to release me from my contract and/or revert all rights for all of my contracted books back to me?
I really don't want this to be messy but I do want my books to be able to get published and would like to be paid for the books I have sold.
Thank you!
