Two dangerous words in contracts

Helen Sedwick writes about rights, proposing that the words "assignment" and "exclusive" should be red flags for writers who want to maintain control over their work and avoid "rights grab" by greed-driven publishers: "How can writers spot these rights grabs before they are exposed in the blogosphere? What are the clues? After all, no writer wants to lose rights or be David suing Goliath like this. The answer, of course, is read the contract before you hit Submit."
