im rich, ******* !!!!!!!!

i got a call from a major publishing house today, they bought 3 of my short stories and they offered me a book deal !! i should get a contract in the next 24 hours and before i do anything about it i have a couple of questions so im wondering does anybody here have any experience in dealing with these people

1. should i hire PR and try doing it all by myself? i did some research and it looks like they will offer me standard, one season deal and after that i may have option to buy back rights to my book. this bugs me a lot, i dont want them to rape my creation but at the same time i feel like i need to do this, just to get my name out there.

2. they asked me to make some changes to those 3 stories and thats ok, no big deal, plenty more where that came from. but i really dont wanna be too flexible when it comes to the book, what are your thoughts on that?

3. and this is the most important question. i already have the name of the book, always did. its a tribute to charles bukowski, one of the greatest writers/poets/drunks ever. the problem is, title of my books is the title of one of his books. now, i'd make it perfectly clear why would the title be the same but at the same time i fell iffy about it. what would you do?

lol, who would've guessed.

p.s. miss pie, remember them stories that you liked so much???? guess what???? LOOOOOL

Congrats!

Aren't there agents that you can consult for advice?

I wouldn't rip off the title; but maybe one of the chapter titles if it fits?

get an agent and/or a lawyer familiar with the industry.

if the pub. house won't deal with them, only you, that will tell you that they do plan on raping you

congrats!

I think this means that you should celebrate at Circa w/Robb G tomorrow and buy everyone drinks.

Get an agent and let them deal with it.

Experts are experts for a reason.

the thing is, that title is all me. even before i knew the translation to english (as i read the book in serbian) i always had a perfect title for my book (if it ever happened lol) in my head.i dont know, i probably get some legal advice.

PS

Unless you're getting an up-front money deal, most of the money you make will be back-ended (total sales - costs = $ to you) which makes it hard to be wealthy via book publishing deals. 1 in 50 books makes money for the publishers (and likewise for the author).

With short stories for inclusion on the other hand one can make some money, but unless your an established writer, becoming "rich" is probably relative - none the less freelance can be a great income stream.

Congratulations on the recognition, however.
