Tip #2: You Got to Talk the Talk
Editors and publishers deal with contracts everyday. Their companies
probably provide seminars on contracts and negotiations.
What about you? You’ve got to understand the terms and clauses in
a contract at least as well as the person you’re dealing with. This
means getting the information you need. The National Writer’s
Union publishes an excellent book on the subject: the NWU Guide
to Book Contracts
. Much of the information is also applicable to
journalism contracts.
