“If they ‘advanced’ her $14M on predicted sales and they never materialize, she owes them the prorated difference.”
I’m happy to assume, if you know about these things, that you may know lots more than I about the customs & practices of the book publishing industry. That would be easy, I know largely nothing about it, though again, I would assume they are not in business to lose money.
But if you think S&S is going to ask for their money back and even more incredulously HRC is gonna give it back, I shall be here, giggling, and not holding my breath!
I realize that. But to me, there is a difference between ‘paid’ and ‘advanced’.
