Is it acceptable to point other writers to your lj (unpublished in their cases) with specific instructions to read the contract entries? Are there perhaps any other entries which you might prefer them to read first, before these?
Yes, it's completely acceptable; it's part of the reason I posted the contract (I'm assuming most published novelists have something fairly similar on hand that they can stare at with glazed eyes <wry g>).
But I'd -really- recommend that anyone with very little sense of how the distribution/bookstore end of the market work start somewhere way back near the beginning. (I think I gathered those under my memories, but could be wrong).
I try to explain things like returns, sales reps, and other bits and pieces of store/end-seller related things. I think they're important.
