erastes

So, I've had my contract from PD Publishing and it looks ok to me. But what do I know.

Anyway, I work in a solicitors office, with a specialist media section, so I ask them to look it over. It just shows you how ruddy MEAN my firm is as they want to charge me £100 for it (and this is considered cheap).

£100 might be peanuts to said solicitors earning £50k plus a year, but for someone on a fraction of that, it's a big deal. Wankers. I have an agent who said "If PD Publishing accepts your book I will help you with the negotiations at a reduced rate." Well that's big of him. As far as I am concerned, having an agent means that he touts you to many different publishers and then attempts to get you the best deal.

So I'm torn. The legal advice is out, so I'll have to read the contract carefully and ask questions where I am not sure. But the agent? I'm still half tempted to go for it. After all - once I'm signed with him, he'll pimp Transgressions if I ever finish it.

Ho hum. I wish I knew someone else who had been published at PD Publishing. I sort of remember that it was someone on the Torquere yahoo group who mentioned them as a decent firm, so I'll have to scour the back entries.

And happy birthday
