Looking for Reviews on a Story in Progress

6 Years Ago


Hello there. My name is Hailey Sawyer and I'm currently working on a story called Sunny Hill Farms. This story is about an eighteen year old named James who gets a job at Sunny Hill Farms via Craigslist. However, the more time they spend there, the more they start to uncover about the farm.

I'm currently on the beginning of the second act and so far, it has been mostly set up with not a whole lot of scares. I did this as a way for the reader to get to know the main character and understand what's going on.

This is the link for the story in case you want to read it and give feedback when you're done: (

If

6 Years Ago


If I talk
I will cry
Tears flow
If I talk
I will cry
Heart on floor
You left me in the cold
You say you love me 
But you left me
You left me on the corner
Eyes down
Rain on my head
Why do you get pleasure
From my hurt 
If I talk
I will cry
If I talk 
I will cry
So I just write
Write until the pain
Is no more

CopyRight, Publishing, and Contracts

6 Years Ago


Hey guys, I just wanted to apologize this took so long, the books had to go on a hold since the promised date. I hope you all have had a chance to feel safe and comfortable with thoughts of publishing through Decipher: the point of publishing is to inspire readers who deserve to learn valuable lessons from our stories, so I hope you all realize that I appreciate your contributions. 

The second point of Decipher is to publish starving artists and inspire growth for writers. 


 

Grant of RightsHere the author grants the publisher the right to publish the work, as protected by copyright law. For most authors this means the exclusive worldwide rights, including all derivative works, etc. While it's not in the interests of the author to give up anything without negotiation, the publisher is frequently in a better position than the author to exploit these rights (such as publishing translations), which will result in further payments to the author. If the author believes the work is likely to become a smash TV hit or the next big Christmas toy, the derivative rights could be the plum of the book contract.

Author's WarrantyThe author is asked to guarantee that the work is actually theirs to sell, not plagiarized, stolen, or already sold to another publisher. This includes rights for any materials or illustrations in the book that the author didn't create. A paraphrase of the final line in this clause goes something like: "This warranty goes on forever and we'll dig you up to pay our legal fees if we get sued." This is really scary stuff because the author could get stuck paying NYC lawyer fees for a frivolous suit. While publishers will rightfully insist on an author's warranty, the language should limit the author's liability to pay the publisher's legal costs for something that isn't the author's fault. Keep any permissions you get from contributors in your long term files and keep your fingers crossed.
CopyrightThe publisher will often seek to register the copyright in place of the author. There may be some financial benefit to the publisher in owning the copyright if somebody actually infringes on it, since the proceeds of a lawsuit might then go to the publisher and not the author. However, the author has already assigned the rights to publish the book at the beginning of the contract, so even if the author retains the copyright, it doesn't mean the book remains the author's property. For what it's worth, the professional author's organization I belong to strongly recommends that authors retain their copyrights.Proofing and EditingThe publisher will reserve the right to make revisions, which will ideally be subject to the author's approval. Whether or not that approval is required, the author must promptly review revisions for errors. Publishers also establish a level of changes which they will allow the author to make in the final stages of production, often 10% or 15% of the cost of preparing the proofs, above which the author will be charged against royalties. That may be fair if the author is trying to substantially rewrite the manuscript late in the production process. However, there should be no fee for correcting problems that are due to the publisher or their outsourced book designer introducing a large number of errors, whatever the cost. When an outsourced book designer ruined a book of mine such that every page had to be redone, the publisher "generously" agreed not to charge for the rework.PublicationThe primary thing separating a trade publisher from a subsidy press is that a trade publisher undertakes to pay the publication expenses of the book. The publisher will seek language that allows them to publish the book in the time that suits them, but authors should obtain some upper limit on this. It's entirely normal for publishers to miss their target dates by more than a month, in part due to a constant turnover of employees, but they should be willing to set a date at which the manuscript will revert to the author if they fail to publish. If the publisher wants a clause that would return any advances paid in this case, it should be dependent on the successful sale of the manuscript to another publisher.RoyaltiesThis is usually the longest section in the book contract, and describes the division of the money, provided the author hasn't written the book for a one-time payment in a work-for-hire arrangement. There's no real standard for domestic royalties, which is the most profitable segment of sales for most authors. It depends on the genre of the work and the publishing house. Ignoring super-star authors who write their own tickets, the best rate most writers can hope for is 15% of the cover price of trade hardcover books, with this percentage being achieved only after a certain number of copies have been sold. Many segments of the publishing industry have successfully changed that maximum to 15% of publisher net, which amounts to less than half the cover price. The lowest royalties I've heard of are less than 5% of net in genres like romance literature, where the publisher may even own the rights to the pen name under which the books are published.
It's common to set a number of steps with which the royalties escalate, setting a lower rate for the first 5,000 copies, a higher rate for the next 5,000, and only reaching the maximum rate after 10,000 or more copies have been sold. These break points may be one of the easier issues to negotiate. I've found it easier to move the break points, even eliminating the lowest category, than to increase the final royalty. Make sure you understand what books are actually being counted towards the royalty steps. In contracts I've signed, only the domestic full price sales have counted, which means that as much as half of my sales haven't counted toward increasing my royalty.
Out of PrintA book is only out of print when the publisher declares it so and updates the ISBN record to reflect this fact. It may also be considered out of print for the purpose of reversion of rights to the author if it is no longer available from the publisher in any edition. The author may have to go through a set procedure, such as requesting in writing that the book be reprinted and waiting a pre-defined time period, but afterwards the rights should revert to the author. One of the problems with print-on-demand is it allows publishers to keep books in print indefinitely when availability is the only test. The author should seek to clarify this contract language as much as possible, setting a minimum number of books sold or moneys earned in consecutive royalty periods, after which the book will be deemed out of print.
The undersigned hereby accepts percentages of royalties to be accepted by Decipher Management, allocated to World Wide Readers (a non-profit organization), and then appropriately to writers, designers, and marketers in order to sell the series of books. 
Royalties for writers will be allocated equally to each writer (devisions of 80% of the profit). Each book will contain no more than 8 poems/ short stories.
I, ________________________________, agree to Elise Rene Hileman's Terms and Conditions through Decipher Books Inc. 
Parent or Gardian Signature ___________________________________. (If under 18).

The books are going to be available online through the book store at decipher.site123.me.

If you have a winning award, you can copy and paste the above standards intended to be met for publishing and sign that you agree. Yes you do need your parents signature if you are a minor. Please allow time for editing and contracting to take place.
