What does it mean to be a rights holder?

Being an Areté Patron's Rights holder means that you will be able to pre-order a matching designation (letter or number) for each of our titles privately, providing you continue to purchase newly published books. You will receive an email at each title release, inviting you to log onto our site and purchase the newest edition before the public pre-sale.

How do I become a rights holder?

Patron's Rights start with the release of Brave New World. In order to be eligible, you must have purchased first- or second-tier edition from us previously.

If I sell my book, can I also sell my rights?

No. The subscription remains with the customer who purchased the book directly from us. The subscription is not transferable.

How many copies will hold rights?

This will depend on how many customers register for rights before we release  Brave New World. All our future editions will be large enough to for all rights holders to but copies.

Which states of Areté books will have rights?

Both the first- and second-tier editions will have rights.

What happens if I don’t purchase the next title?

You would lose your rights and your number/letter would be offered to someone else.

If rights become available, how will they be re-allocated?

They will be offered to buyers of the latest title available at the time on a first-come, first-served basis.

Will you be selling any non-rights copies?

Yes. We will make sure that there always are copies available, across both states, for public pre-sale. These copies will not carry subscriber rights. We will only be releasing a strictly limited number of first-tier copies for public pre-sale.

Are rights copies the same price as non-rights copies?

Yes. Both Patrons' Rights and general sale copies are the same price.
