Hello, I live in NY.

I wrote an instructional book for a large publisher.

In the contract, under "Non-Competion," it said that I cannot write any competing books, videos, or audios on the same topic.

However, I had them add an addendum (which we both signed) saying that the author's self published works do not apply to the non competition section.

MY QUESTION: If I self publish my own book/video course on the same topic and then sell the rights to the website with the book/video course, would that be breaking the contract?

Thanks.
