Hi all,
This is a repeat of a post in another forum but I didn't get any response so I am trying over here...
Are there any seasoned book copy editors out there (non-fiction)?
I am about to meet with a large book publisher to discuss assignments/contracts and I am wondering what the typical rights/contracts will be. Am I going to be looking at a Work for Hire contract? I really hate those but from the book publisher's point of view, what other kind of contract will they be able to offer me...?
It's my first time around with book editing. I really want the work but I'd also like a contract I can live with.
Any insights gratefully appreciated.
Thanks.
