This blog is work in progress. So keep checking back for new definitions. =)
Royalties: When you get published you're going to love these. Royalties are lump-payments from the publisher to you depending on how many books you sell. Depending on the publisher, the royalties are paid either annually, twice-yearly, quarterly or the payments are negotiable. To find out what the publishers offer get the Writers Handbook and under each publisher at the bottom there will be a £ sign followed by how often they're paid.
No unsolicited mss: If it says this under a publishers name, it means that they don't want you to send any work unless they requested it. These publishers will most likely want a sypnosis or a sample chapter.
Sypnoses: This means the publisher wants you to send a summary of your book as opposed to a chapter or the whole thing.
Make sure you pay attention to their requests. Don't think they'll make an exception with you, follow their rules!!
