Publishing contracts can make your skin crawl. You just want to get your book out into the world and get published. Legalese gets in the way.

I’ve negotiated hundreds of publishing contracts and specialize in translating legal jargon into plain English for you. I’m intimate with the ins and outs of how publishing contracts are structured and what the important implications are for your contract from now to the end of the world. I’ll help you understand your contract, suggest items to push back on, and make sure you’re asking the right questions to get what you want out of your book deal.

I am not a literary agent and don’t charge you a percentage. Your book’s success is your own. I charge a flat rate starting at $80 per hour with quarter-hour minimums. A typical publishing contract takes between two to six hours to negotiate from start to finish.
