If some of you have experience with this side of the business in the US (book published in the US by a US publisher) and could give me some idea about the numbers (either here or in a private email) I would appreciate it very much.



If you have used a different contract, please tell me about that (again, if the information sensitive, send me a private email).



Thank you very much

Dear Katalin,

The post is quite old and your link is not active, but I was wondering, have you ever found the answer? I am looking for the same information and would be grateful for any pointers.

Kind regards,

Oksana.
