I just received a contract some of the wording makes me nervous and I don't know of an Attorney, it seems basic but that could get me in trouble. It almost sounds like I'm giving them an idea for a TV show and then I receive nothing for it. Can anyone help with this?

Thank you, I didn't see anything with P&E but have not checked Beware yet. Contracts can be a scary thing.

You could PM me the name of the publisher and I'll let you know if I can see any red flags there.

If you're in the UK, join the Society of Authors and take advantage of their free contract-checking service. It's wonderful. If you're in the US there must be similar organisations which offer help.
