The Agency has made deals with Champagne Books (a publisher here in Canada I've never heard of but perhaps someone here has?)
Looking at the publishers contract on their site, a few things stand out that I wouldn't be happy about. First thing I read was the Author is responsible to copyright the book/pay for costs associated. I'm no expert on contracts other then children's books in print, perhaps this is fairly standard in these genre's, with small ebook presses? I must say, it's not usual to even SEE a sample contract on a publishers site.
