what happens when the publishing contract comes

Today, the Publishing 101 series takes a look at what happens when the publishing contract arrives. We won’t be dissecting contract language today – though contract issues will show up in other posts during 2014. Instead, we’re looking at what the author, and agent, will do when the contract comes. A note: as the publishing industry changes, a larger number of unrepresented authors are getting publishing contracts. If this happens to you, and you choose not to work with a literary agent, be sure to find a publishing attorney to review your contracts before you sign. Do not sign in
