It can be hard to get good insider info when I live so far away from the publishing heart of our field.
I would love to see an old contract dissected, if the votes warrant it.

This is interesting because many of the authors being published at the moment are Australian; Australia has -- to my mind -- an astonishingly healthy Fantasy genre of its own, considering the size of its population (Canada can't claim anything like the same, more's the pity) -- something I only really grew to understand when I was serving as a jurist for the World Fantasy Award. There were a lot of HarperCollins Australian publications (as in, only in Australia).
In fact, Australia is becoming a foreign market in its own right, as opposed to an adjunct UK market. Errr, at least from a North American perspective <wry g>. Were I currently writing in Australia, and writing Fantasy, I'd probably submit to Australian markets because at the moment, what's being published in the Australian market is being looked at carefully by the NA market.
