BTW, in the comments, Howey dropped this little nugget:
Quote:
I wouldn’t sign with a publisher for the next few years, not until royalties on digital are 50% of net and terms of license are a hard 5-7 years.
Those changes are coming.
That’s why anyone doing a deal during this transition is making a huge mistake.
It’s also why publishers are gleefully doing 10+ book deals with any big name they can, so they can lock down the 25% of net and terms of copyright.
Those authors are getting screwed today by tomorrow’s standards.

Noting that Howey has an agent--and one of the best in the business--and is plugged in to the winds of change, that is well.... very interesting.
