Take it from Kristine Kathryn Rusch: It pays to be a hardass
Kristine Kathryn Rusch has more advice for authors on how to negotiate, but frankly, we think her exhortation to be a hardass is valid for the rest of us as well.
Rusch shares a few of her writing-negotiation experiences from the era before she took back control — then tells you how she turned the tables and how it paid off.
This all leads into her discussion of a higher-profile contract case: that of actor Johnny Depp.
In this particular lawsuit, Depp is asking for his money back from the talent lawyer he paid because they had a verbal agreement, not a valid contract.
