What if it's your only shot? I have a lot of sympathy from someone facing that decision. Nobody believes that the frustration of suffering through a bad deal is worse than never getting one, but from what I've seen it's true.<br /><br />Even a GOOD writer-editor-publisher relationship makes you gnash your teeth once in a while. My great insight into the business world is that, as friendly as everyone might be, at contract time you're adversaries. They're going to take as much as they can, AND EXPECT YOU TO DO THAT SAME. Anybody who signs the first thing put in front of them is a sap. Figure out what you really want and ask for it. If there's something that's a literal deal-breaker for you, say so and stand by it. If they cancel the project just because you're acting like a professional (important caveat: NOT being an ass about it), they weren't very committed and it wouldn't have worked out well anyway.Brian Fieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16347700145666751363noreply@blogger.com
