What exactly do they mean by "overseas"!? If they are in the UK, does it mean they take 15% from writers outside the UK!? Or does it mean when they reach the overseas market, they take 15%!? Or what!?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance! !.Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Typically, it means that when they obtain a publisher for the overseas market, they charge 15% for those sales!. I don't know, if you get an agent from the UK (and you're American), if they consider the US "overseas"!. I'm guessing that they do, and I'm not sure why you'd seek a UK agent for US representation - they can't possibly know the US publishing houses as well as an agent from the US!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
