Here's to you with best wishes for a successful track to finalization of your contract and beyond.

Not only do agents know what to look for in publishing contracts, but also an agent will know far more about the company who sent you that message than a lawyer would.
In addition, publishing has its own language and legal conventions. Lawyers are not familiar with those. Agents are.

(9,612 posts)This was the original query:
When a giant squid is bearing down on his school, Bobby must find a way to defeat him and still have time to finish his Spanish homework. When a random locker check turns up his sword, Bobby has to think fast to try and avoid expulsion. And when the mysterious killer who took out the original Scarlet Knight strikes again, Bobby must solve the mystery and bring the villain to justice before he becomes just another victim.
THE SIDEKICK (complete at 68,000 words) is a young adult novel for every teen boy who once ran around the schoolyard with his jacket tied around his neck like Supermans cape and is now looking to fit into the adult world.
PAB SUNGENIS is a comedian, playwright, and the creator of the daily comic strip "The New Adventures of Queen Victoria," distributed by Universal Uclick. He is also the screenwriter for the short film Club 27, an official selection of the Project Twenty1/Philadelphia International Film and Animation Festival.
The funny thing is that I never thought of doing a sequel. I thought the story was done. We'll see what I can come up with.
That will be for my daughter in a few years then. She is in elementary now - currently reading a series by Lemony Snicket.

I love my Kindle and my daughter plays/reads on it as well. I can be taught how to use such devices but have no idea about any of the technology behind it!
