Review contract clauses against market benchmarks
Packaged know-how that tells an agent how to do a job well.
You might say…
“The publisher sent a 40-page contract and I have no idea whether 8% net royalties is standard or a red flag.”
What it does
Reviews a book contract's material clauses (advance, royalty rates, reversion, subsidiary rights splits) against standard market benchmarks and flags terms that underperform.
Trigger: Use when a book contract arrives and before engaging a literary lawyer, to identify which clauses to negotiate and which are market-standard.
I/O: Book contract text → clause-by-clause assessment against benchmarks with flagged underperforming terms and negotiation priorities
