>Susan Bourgeois: I don't know what you mean by your question: "How much future interest does an author have to relinquish in the negotiating process?" What do you mean by "future interest"?

>Great article/piece for aspiring authors like me who are constantly wondering if i should self pub or go traditional. Anyhow, sorry for such a capitalist/greedy question, but what is the traditional/usual price for the advance for first time author?

>Hi Rachelle
Thanks for posting this, it helps a lot. I do have a question, What if an Author wants to donate to military-those stuck on ships, subs, etc. Would the Publisher be willing to negoiate on this charitable contribution?
I often see requests for books, audiobooks, etc.

>More great reasons to get an agent! I get so many friends who don't understand the business ask if I'm going to self-publish or epublish or go straight to a publisher myself. I always tell them, if I can't get an agent, I'm not publishing a book. I won't do it any other way. It's not about how much money I make, or how much goes to the agent, it's about getting my books out there so readers can enjoy them. And about not getting screwed because I didn't understand the contract or something. Thank goodness for agents!

>I signed my first contract early this year. I didn't have an agent, so I went to an attorney. There was nothing egregious in the contract, so I signed it and we are set for publication in a few months.

However, I learned that I will never - NEVER - sign another contract without an agent. My current non-fiction is under query right now. Too bad it's not in your list of wants, or you'd have it post-haste.

Thanks for your generous information and great good will.
