Contracts are super important since they serve to protect both parties (writer and publisher). Make sure you understand yours before you sign it, even if you have to hire an attorney! And if anybody tells you that you can’t take a legal document to an attorney to have him explain something to you in layman’s terms then tell that person to go screw themselves.
