Longtime writer, editor, and publisher Kristine Kathryn Rusch knows this better than 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.\u003cp\u003eLittle 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"[Kristine Kathryn Rusch's blog,] The Business Rusch...is full of sound advice and analysis about what's going on.\"\u003cbr\u003e-Jeff Baker, The Oregonian\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"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.\"\u003cbr\u003e-Chris Syme, Principal of CKSyme Media Group\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The bible for the self-employed.\"\u003cbr\u003e-John Ottinger III, teacher and editor of Grasping for the Wind, on The Freelancer's Survival Guide\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WMG Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47063527719152,"sku":"9781561467747","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781561467747_p0.jpg?v=1763788383","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781561467747","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
