Tighter deadline means they are paying you more -- doesn't it? (Among other things - no time for a day job)
I've certainly thought about that, and I'll mention it when we get to the contract stage. But it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me. Their standard contract is nicely structured, increasing royalties as sales hit higher marks. Also, the bonus of getting to do a music book for them would make it worthwhile anyway.
... and add another YAY for the good news on Karen. I've worried about her, but haven't kept up with you on all the updates.
Cool. As everyone says it is a perfect book for you. Congrats. But I'm glad you will at least try for some extra money. Cause it is really hard for a writer to bargain.
Awesome, Hec! I expect to be coming to a reading at City Lights next year.
David, that's fantastic! Yay!
Hec, that's wonderful! Congratulations.
Congratulations, Hec!
In other news, this book review had me crying with laughter.
WARNING: Very, very, very unsafe for work.
Hee. I know the woman who wrote that book. I used to edit her historical romances in my former life. To be fair, her historicals started off really well, and declined pretty quickly, and when she said she was going to write erotica, I was like, Buzzah?!
That review made me laugh so hard, my stomach hurts. Ah, Smart Bitches, how I love you. "This dude hath not a workable stiffy."
YAY Hec!
