Viswanathan book deal: the real deal

Viswanathan book deal raises more questions - The Boston Globe

”They are not paying out that much money to a 17-year-old with no track record,” said Boston literary agent Doe Coover. ”They are paying it to this organization which has had huge hits aimed at a similar audience.” And some wondered who is looking out for the creator of the work.

”If they [Alloy] get co-copyright, 50-50 of the money and 15 percent for the agent, that’s not a great deal for the author,” said John Taylor Williams, a Boston agent and publishing lawyer.
