Okay, now we're getting somewhere. Now I have a name and a business. The good news is that I don't have any complaints on file regarding either of them. Admittedly, it could mean that no one thought to contact P&E if there was a problem.
Now, I mentioned earlier that I hadn't seen either contract or agreement. If those were supposed to be attached in an email sent to me, then it didn't transmit. No one can respond on section numbers without knowing what those state because the sections in contracts can vary widely in number and content. Most do start off the same way, but many divert as quickly as the second section. Now if you want to send me the agreements as attachments, feel free to do so.
Just to help everyone reading this discussion, there's nothing wrong with asking about a person or business by name in a forum. The tricky part is in answering. If you're not certain because the news reveals problems, then do that with a private message or an email or an instant message in a chat room. However, when asking, you should always get to the point and state who you're asking about. That eliminates many wrong impressions and allows those with the information to give an accurate answer appropriate to the situation much quicker.
Lastly, revealing the editing cost, which I can only speculate about, does give me reason to pause and think. If there are provisions for the publisher to charge the editing to the authors, then it's not just a red flag, it's a trumpet signal for recall (advance in the direction away from the other party). However, there are some legitimate instances where such could be included as an incentive to avoid having a writer jump ship just when the work is ready to head to the presses. What's needed is a clear reading of the contract in relation to all the other sections. In other words, don't rely upon one section standing entirely on its own. It's not infrequent for one section to be modified by another such that the meaning of one might seem dangerous, but when taken in context with another section turns out only to be protection.
