"I was very pleased with all the work Sara S. did as she knew both very technical details about the contract and also had good strategic ideas. One might want to ask how long the project might take, but in some ways that's largely up to you, like how many changes are your requesting and what do you want her to look at. For the flat fee, we got a lot done. And she has expertise in many areas if you look at her reviews, but it also doesn't hurt that she did a book with a hybrid publisher (one that you have to submit your book - one who I actually spoke to at one point, and they have to choose you.) All in all I think I think we covered quite a bit for the flat fee."

Project Description

In 2024, a first-time author in California sought assistance with reviewing an author agreement after receiving a contract from a publisher in the UK. The client needed guidance on various contractual elements, including royalty structures and rights related to foreign markets and audiobooks, aiming to ensure that their interests were fully protected. Additionally, they expressed concerns about non-traditional terms that might not favor the author, and how royalty rates could impact their overall earnings. As a result, the client received five proposals from licensed attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $300 to $599, all submitted to meet the requested deadline of one week.
