Be Careful Out There

If you are contracted with any of the traditional/legacy publishers, make sure you read your contract.  Among Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Dean Wesley Smith, and the lawyer dude who is Passive Guy, there are a lot of crappy clauses and what-not that publishers are hoisting onto writers, whether those writers have been in legacy publishing for a while or those writers who are about to sign their first contract.

What was it that they used to say on Hill Street Blues?  Oh yeah.

Be careful out there.

Hi,

I like your blog and I follow you but I often miss your posts because they don't show on my google reader like the other blogs I follow do. Do you know why?

I have to remember to come to your page and check them...

I'm going to look into this again. ::goes away muttering::
