There has been some comment on onerous contracts on the blogosphere this week.
Scalzi talks about Hydra (and breaks down why this is not a good contract for authors) and he also talks about Alibi (both imprints of Random House)
Writers Beware talks about Hydra and talks about Random House’s response to SFWA delisting the imprint.
There are some very questionable contracts being offered authors. It is up to the author to do their research. Don’t sign the first thing you are offered.
If you belong to an organisation like SFWA or RWA you’ll get alerts via the lists on these topics. It pays to belong to writers organisations which do so much to support us.
