Subject:Royalties question From:"Dana B. Mackonis" <writer -at- HANDEL -dot- JLC -dot- NET> Date:Tue, 27 Feb 1996 15:11:29 -0500
My attorney just called me about one of his clients, a programmer that has
been asked to write a book and they are offering her royalties. She has no
idea what a fair offer would be. Can someone who has had experience in
this, please email me privately or post to the list what a fair % is for
royalites.
Can someone also send me information about electronic rights and how you may
have handled those in connection with a book deal.
any information will be greatly appreciated, and if it is of interest to
those on the list, I will summarize and post. Thanks...
