Well, crap, I already signed and sent in the contract. I should have had more patience and waited to read more responses.
I'm a little nervous now but the editor does seem reasonable. Here's the rest of the clause:
"The Publisher agrees to make reasonable efforts to notify the Author in advance of any editorial changes."
I sent him an email about this a few days ago and he replied:
"Yes, the second part technically means without consent. However, we will contact you with any changes and try our best to accommodate any stylistic suggestions you have. Ultimately, our say will be final, but we aren't sticklers."
So, hopefully, all will be well. Thanks for the responses, everyone. I'll probably be a little less hasty with the next one.
