This is exactly what happened on my first book, The Stewardess Is Flying the Plane. An editor thought I was a good writer, we were both passionate about film, so we hammered out a book idea together, and then she got her house to make an offer. At that point, I met an agent who worked with some authors I knew and liked, and I said I had an offer but needed somebody to tell me if I was being treated fairly on the details. She looked the contract over, got a few adjustments made, and we were off to the races!

Love this! Underline, bold, capitalize, highlight: A contract is not about feelings!
