This depends on the publisher and the contract between author and publisher. I was able to keep copyrights to a book I wrote several years ago after negotiating with the publisher. Sometimes the copyright doesn't go to author right away, but after a couple years or after it does out of print...or sometimes they do get to keep it upon publication. It all depends on how it is worked out.
