Dear Katy,

The optimal word is First right to publish ect. Not EXCLUSIVE rights
to publish. But thank you for your concerns.

Sorry Katy but everything Ive ever sumitted to publishers they do
not
ask any questions beside how much do I want for the rights to
publish.
The only problem is sometimes they fix to much and I have to refuse
thier money until they fix it the way I like it. If you have good
stories that will make them lots of money they will buy. Hemmingway
was
a bad speller as well, but he put his gut and soul into the stories
he
told and thats all that matters.
