Making sure its competitive Distribution - who looks into it? How does it work; Are there exclusive rights here as well, amongst other things. Royalties - Anywhere more than 15% Support - Does our publisher provide us any support? At what time do they come in? can we draw clear time lines and call to actions of sorts so we are clear with how we are moving to our goal. Timeline - Since most of our writing is ready, all should be done soon. Having said that, can we start with what we have? And once all is in, how long does it take.
