Dear, Demi, thank you for featuring me in this scroll! What a lovely surprise. And I especially enjoyed the barrister bibbity bobbity boo convo, so many nuggets of wisdom. I have a child who is writing a book and aspires to be an author, I will keep this tucked away to refer to. And I also struggle with marketing myself/my art. Thank you for the hilarity and information, I always appreciate your scrolls!
One of the things to know is the "power of legitimacy" is in your hands. When you see contract text that you don't understand, draw a big X through it. Put your initials in the margin. Move on. There is nothing about the things in the contract that matter. There is nothing about the print out that matters. If you don't understand what it says, don't put up with it. Don't be shy about bleeding red ink all over their black and white contract. (Which, by the way, is one of the answers to the riddle, what's black and white and red all over. A document seen by an editor. Another answer is a zebra with sunburn.)
Negotiating contracts is a sort of art form. Trump has a lot of problems, but his book about the art of the deal has some useful ideas. Chester Karrass used to teach a lot of these lessons.
Power of authority is another one. If you go into a contract signing event with the power to agree to the terms on the paper on the table, you are likely going to come away worse off. Always, always, always insist that you don't have the power. "I have to talk it over with my wife." Or "I have to put it before the board of directors." If you have authority, that will be used by the other side. Which is why sending an agent who has an actual contractual obligation to represent you is better, and having that agent disempowered is best of all. If the agent can truthfully say, "I can present these ideas to my client" you are much better off than negotiating directly yourself. If you don't have a good agent or a good agency agreement, of course, you are worse off with an agent than without.
Anytime I can work “Legolas, you’re better n us” into the convo I am elated. Thanks Demi for putting this together and including me. Great way to start a Saturday.
Like ancient cave paintings and carvings, The Scroll serves as an illustration into the human experience. Only, we aren’t being chased by wooly mammoths or Sabre tooth tigers in a the Scroll., yet. Thanks Demi!
😊Glad to be back; thanks for the shout out, Demi!
