This is ridiculous. This press is asking for "first right of refusal for adaptation rights (film, graphic novels, etc.) of the work for a period of 3 years from the signing date."

THREE YEARS.

Run, don't submit, don't sign this. Such a bad thing for writers.

They're paying eight cents a word for the right to lock down your adaptation rights, which is such a terrible deal for authors.
