Not doing deals like that you're not!

Let me guess who keeps any roalties due to reprints? who gets syndication royalties if they sell your story on?

Does your name even have to be printed with it?

Oh well at least you're a "published author" there are enough people desperatly trying to get their toes into even the door you're in.
