Hi there!
I received an agent contract from what I believe to be a reputable agency in NY. I have some questions around the wordage and would really appreciate feedback on this.
It is as follows:
Billable expenses include Xerox copies, overseas phone and faxes. Possible travel and entertainment can follow sale of book. The fee of $100.00 to be sent to Agent with executed contract, is for Messenger service and/ or Priority Mail. Outside editors, "book doctors", or additional collaborators are the responsibility of the Author.
I am new to this and want to ensure that I understand before I sign.
Are these normal contract conditions and what do they mean?
Thanks in advance!
David
