It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

And one for you, because you're cool.

We like million-dollar contracts, you know?

Got to get away from LCN for a bit, cause I read that and thought "Not if it's on you, no." Ok, so, not the whacking kind. The smallest book contract in the world would look like more money than I've ever seen, but I won't say that.

Babe, if I'm dreaming, I may as well dream big.

Yo! Universe! WE WANT MILLIONS!

Million-dollar contracts for everyone!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

What does it mean when an editor is fighting for my book with his acquisitions team? I don't understand what that means, really.

What is even happening?

Yes you do, but you can't admit it to yourself for some cracktacular reason or another.

It means you wrote a good book, Allyson. Deal.

I don't know whether it means that acquisitions doesn't think it will sell, and what the relationship is to the editor.

Oh, I guess that depends on how he means "with"--that is, if they're fighting along side of him (against another editor/acquisitions team) or against him. I read it as an "along side" deal, when you first posted it.

Did your agent tell you this? Can you ask her?
