Closing the Deal...on Your ­Terms
Agents, Contracts, and Other Considerations (Wmg Writer's Guides)

Rating

Paperback, 304 pages
Published
United States, 1 December 2016

Making the wrong decisions on the business side of publishing can destroy a writer's career. Longtime writer, editor, and publisher Kristine Kathryn Rusch knows this anyone. So she decided to write a book on the dealbreakers in contracts, agency agreements, and other business things that will ruin a writer's future. Little did she know that it would take her seven months, lots of hand-wringing, and a lot of help from the readers of her blog. The result, Closing the Deal...on Your Terms, shows how the tiniest of decisions-talking to a Hollywood producer on the phone, falling for a typical agent's ruse of masking a contract for a letter-can have lifelong consequences. Written for every writer, whether self-published, traditionally published, or hybrid, Closing the Deal...on Your Terms takes writers on a journey that will help them understand what they're selling and what they could accidentally give away. "[Kristine Kathryn Rusch's blog, ] The Business Rusch...is full of sound advice and analysis about what's going on." -Jeff Baker, The Oregonian "Kristine Kathryn Rusch's new book Discoverability is by far the best resource I have read to date to help indie authors succeed after the book is written." -Chris Syme, Principal of CKSyme Media Group "The bible for the self-employed." -John Ottinger III, teacher and editor of Grasping for the Wind, on The Freelancer's Survival Guide

Under that name, she publishes bestselling science fiction and fantasy, award-winning mysteries, acclaimed mainstream fiction, controversial nonfiction, and the occasional romance. Her novels have made bestseller lists around the world and her short fiction has appeared in eighteen best of the year collections. She has won more than twenty-five awards for her fiction, including the Hugo, Le Prix Imaginales, the Asimov's Readers Choice award, and the Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine Readers Choice Award.

The Nelscott books have received nominations for almost every award in the mystery field, including the best novel Edgar Award, and the Shamus Award. She writes goofy romance novels as award-winner Kristine Grayson, romantic suspense as Kristine Dexter, and futuristic sf as Kris DeLake. She also edits. Beginning with work at the innovative publishing company, Pulphouse, followed by her award-winning tenure at The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, she took fifteen years off before returning to editing with the original anthology series Fiction River, published by WMG Publishing.
