The Digital Age has introduced seminal changes in the publishing industry that should be of relevance to manuscript acquisition and author-publisher contract in the Nigerian publishing industry. The Digital Age has changed the form and content of the book and thus created new challenges in the mode of operation in the industry. It is apposite to examine the ongoing development in the relationship between authors and publishers in terms of the contractual obligations of the consenting parties. This paper, therefore, examines the conventional author-publisher contractual relationship in the light of the current digitisation with a view to bringing its impact on author-publisher collaboration to the fore in the current publishing dispensation in Nigeria.
