I've recently been looking through publishers to publish something that I've been writing, and I think I've finally found the almost-perfect one for me. The only problem is that the prices at which they sell their books is ABSURDLY high. Their contract states that "book prices are subject to change at publisher's discretion." As an author, this scares me. The price is already high enough, which will obviously prevent people from buying the book, and if they had the opportunity to raise the price without my consent, I'm sure they very well would. Is there some way that I can make an amendment to the contract before I sign, something that will leave pricing at my discretion rather than theirs, or is that asking for power that should never belong to an author? By the way, I am dealing with a self-publisher rather than a traditional, which might, in some way, justify my having that right. Am I correct?

My literary agent called today to offer me a contract with an independent book publisher. They want me to buy 100 books up front. Is this unheard of?

Signed a aeven year contract and feel the book publisher is not holding up their end of the agreement and I want out with my book intact.

Can it be anyone? Do I have to get a notary to do it? Or a lawyer? They said I have to send in two copies, signed, so that they can sign both, and then send me one of the originals. Do both of my copies need the witness sig, and notary stamp if needed? Please help, I've been sitting on this, and it is my dream, and I am procrastinating for no good reason.

I'm looking for a book on why Newt Gingrich's Contract with America failed, or just about it in general.

Looking for some realistic and modern ideas for contracting a killer for a book plot. I am currently working with using Craigslist and similar internet resources but don't read that genre. The ways I am familiar with from older books sound too Dick Tracey.

Please help, best answer gets 10 points

went ahead BECAUSE it was known that existing legacy artefacts were adequate for the purpose of "integrating" any new system-to-be. Assume that later there were problems in integrating the new system. Is it safe to assume that there was substitution of artefacts - that an artefact or artefacts "fit for purpose" was substituted by an artefact "not fit for purpose" ?

Has he been "Palinized?" Well, my boy is up by 101 electoral votes. Stings doesn't it?

This book will include a certain amount of photographs taken by each of us. I want to make sure the contract states that each person's photos will be credited to that person,and that all profits will be split 50/50.

The author shall keep confidential and shall not disclose the terms of this agreement except to the author's authorized legal and financial representative with a need to know and then only for purposes of representing the author's interests hereunder." If a publisher's negotiator were to press you on confidentiality, you can point out that the publisher has experience with many authors, perhaps thousands, and uses its accumulated knowledge and experience to negotiate. Authors, on the other hand, cannot negotiate knowledgably or intelligently unless they too have access to the terms that their fellow authors negotiate. Point out that agreeing to the clause would preclude authors from sharing information that's essential to acting in their best interest. You may want to assure the publisher's negotiator that you have no intention of sharing any contract details that would be detrimental to the success of the work, such as publication schedules. does this make sense if i was the author

I'm just wondering,, In School they make you sign a contract if you loose the book the school provided you. Like a algebra book or science book.

I will be interviewing subjects for the book. The subjects need to understand that I am writing the book to make money and they are volunteering their info knowing that the revenue from the book will not be distributed among those being interviewed. Also, I need to let them know that I honor complete confidentiality. Is there a template or do I need to seek a contract lawyer?

I figure people in 'wordplay' will have a good perspective on this: I've written three textbooks & they're for sale on Amazon. Don't worry. I'm not advertising them here. I got a contract for a "real" book, based on an outline/treatment. I'm writing it, and want to make it as well written as possible. I am a professional editor, so it's just the way I do things. I want every word, sentence and paragraph to be as well written as possible. The book is going to be almost 200,000 words long, and I'm reviewing each paragraph! At this rate it seems that it will take forever. Is this a writer's typical experience?

I'm a writer and i've just gotten through writing an epic fantasy novel. This is the first novel i've ever written so bear with me. What wanted to know how can i get a published and get a book contract? I've already looked up some publishing companies but i don't which one is the right one. Will i have to meet with the publishing company to discuss my book? How many years would they contract me to do? How much would they pay me to make a deal with them?

Is anyone reading the new Comic book title CONTRACT from A FIRST SALVO? If so what do you guys and gals think. I've been told it has a Whedonesque "feel" to the book.
