Would anyone know who can look at a publishing contract for me please. I am an author and illustrator of a childrens book and would love to hear any advice. Not too sure if i should contact a solicitor just to go over everything or a literary agent but money is a bit tight at the moment. I feel the publishing contract doesnt clearly mention paperback royalties. It mentions me as an author but not as the illustrator.. so i am concern to whether they will use my imagery for something else and although i know i hold the copyright to my work, and they will use the copyright symbol throughout the said 'work', i think id like this clearly stated that this includes my illustrations. Any advice would be really appreciated..

Also the Society of Authors. You have to join for the full works but I imagine they'd help out with the basics
You might want to look at the Alliance of Independent Authors (ALLi) as they do contract vetting services.
