Publishing question help

[Jason]

I self published my fantasy book in July and have had some pretty good success. I've been approached by a publishing house out of Europe who would like to publish my book and possibly the future books in the series.

I've researched the company but I know there are questions I'm not asking. Since they are located in Europe, should that worry me versus a house in the U.S.? Besides the financial implications are there other things I should be thinking about?

I'm looking for people to shoot me over questions I should be asking before I make a decision.

Thank you very much!!!

I looked up your sales, Jason and I see you did better on UK Amazon than the USA Amazon.
I have a friend who published in your genre. He found the small UK firm very helpful and honest. I will look up their name if you like ....

What rights are the European house looking for? Normally, you deal with English language rights separately to translation rights. The English language rights are usually split - e.g. English including the Commonwealth. This then allows you to sell your English rights to the US separately. In fact, having sold rights elsewhere is a bonus when trying to find a publishing house in the US.
