From the Still Waves blog:
"2 - Authors believe that being with a well established name guarantees
them higher royalties/advances. While the latter is sometimes true, the
first is not. Independent houses are known to be more generous with
their royalty rates. They are also more likely to reward a faithful
author who is consistently making money for them. "Don't make
assumptions. Ask questions."
***
I can make a few assumptions right here:
First, Still Waves would like to make a quick ****ft from "higher
royalties" to "higher royalty rates" and hope no one notices that
they're not the same thing.
Third, anyone who's looking to sign 75 contracts in the next 24 hours
isn't planning to read the material thoroughly.
I'm sure they'd like people to ask questions; I'm just not at all sure
the answers would be trustworthy.
