Calling all veterans of the publishing world
I am a published author so I'm used to contract jargon but my agent usually handles this kind of thing -and I just sign off on it. However, I sold something today that I wrote before the agent . . . so I'm kind of winging it since she is on vacation for the week. The company is anxious for contract and wanting to know my contract requirements i.e advance and royality musts.
Does anyone know the average rate of royality? Or any information on an advance? This is a picture book if that helps any.
Thanks!! You're saving me a lot of brain wrecking stress!
