2) Do your homework
3) Determine what's important to you
4) Only sell the publisher what it intends to use
5) Don't leave the back door standing open
6) Don't promise anything you can't deliver
7) A word about royalties
8) Don't take yourself out of the market
9) Don't become an indentured servant
10) Anticipate the unthinkable
