I've had a lawyer review my agency agreement and I've chatted with a few authors that are already represented by my agency, but I'd like a few more opinions about the subject to see if these are standard terms.
Two questions:
--When signing an agreement about foreign rights, is it industry standard to pay a domestic agent 20% and a corresponding foreign agent 20%? Or does the foreign agent's cut come from the domestic agent's 20%?
--If an author/agent terminates an agreement, what's the standard amount of time that the agent has to finalize or sell negotiations. A few months? years?
