A couple of points about this. The kill fee may exist in a contract, but I've seen a publisher say effectively 'so sue us.'

More importantly for UK based authors, the Society of Authors has a brilliant free contract checking service for members. There is a fee for membership, but it's well worth it. To be a full member you have to be published, but you can join as an associate member as long as you have an offer, and make use of the service.

Thanks, Brian.

That 10,000 read rule is something worth knowing.
