Since I could not find an agent to rep my book, I am hoping some will offer advice.
I am a first-time author.
I was just offered publication by Leisure Books, and would like to know how far I can push Don D'Auria in our negotiations.
Don offered me $2,500 advance + 4% royalties on a mass market paperback, cover price $6.99. Genre: Suspense.
Looks like a boilerplate?
I understand that Leisure pays low advances, but am wandering how much I can get out of them? Is Leisure capable of paying 8%?
Any experience dealing with Don?
Whatever you can share,
Wendy
