Time to bust some myths! In this episode, Mike and AJ will share everything they know about publishing contracts.

What are red flags to look out for and green flags to help you feel confident signing on the dotted line.

“I think we need some reframes that contracts are negotiable, that royalties are negotiable. We think they’re not. And subsidiary rights, such as audio and translation rights are also negotiable. And the delivery data is negotiable. There’s a lot of stuff to consider.”
–AJ Harper
“Here’s one thing I negotiated, for the audiobook that I read my own books. I said, No, it’s got to be me.” And they agreed. And? I required to be compensated for it.”
—Mike Michalowicz
