This auction will be one round, best bids for WORLD ENGLISH LANGUAGE rights, including 1st Serial Rights.  Writers House will retain translation and audio.

 

Please email your bid to me by 10:00 a.m. Tuesday.  In your bid, please include these terms:

 

Advance

Payout

Bonuses

Confirmation that the book will be published simultaneously in both physical and electronic editions

Confirmation of mutual agreement on title

Confirmation of consultation on cover

Author copies: 25 of hardcover & pb

Agency copies: 20 of hardcover & pb

Option on next non-fiction on proposal

 

Though I will reserve the right to negotiate all other terms, you will not be given the option to improve the advance: therefore please insure that the advance in your offer is your absolute best bid.

 

Julia, if you and Larry ARE interested in bidding, and need me to push the time back somewhat, let me know and I’ll do what I can.  Thanks, meanwhile, for the quick read.

Dan
