I'm self-published in the US. Don't have an agent. A French publisher has offered to buy the world rights to my series and hopes to work with other publishers to sell it in other countries. They've offered a $3000 advance plus 5% royalty which goes up to 7% after 30,000 copies sold.
Is that low?
If they have world rights, does that mean they have full control over the series?
How much can I negotiate? (My series is already selling fairly well on Amazon and I have a decently sized following.)
Are there any risks selling world rights to a foreign publisher?
Should I ask to retain ebook rights?
Anything else I should know?
