Quick question for group members: Based on your knowledge and/or experience what is the standard duration for a book publishing contract? I recently received my first book contract from a small press and they want 15 years duration for the contract. To me, that seems way too long...

Congrats on the contract. Based on what I have seen over the years, 15 years seems to be a bit long. From what I recall, I thought it 5 years was the norm.

Thanks. 5 years is much more reasonable.

Yeah, I was going to say 2-5 years, depending on the press.
