I'll split it down the middle between Amy and Sarah: David Tennant, small island, wifi. I'll take care of the rest, thanks.

Custom writing retreat in a gorgeous, secluded forest of course!

I'd like them to pay for all my "research" trips to foreign countries.

What about travel expenses for book tours? Is the author expected to cover that or will the publisher cover it as a promotional expense?

I'll take Hugh Jackman. And a small island. With wifi.

Yes, I am asking my future hypothetical publisher for David. Kate, I hope you are mentioning that in your calls and emails! I don't see why people can't be part of negotiating. It seems perfectly reasonable to me!

Thanks for answering my question! I kinda already knew that it wasn't true, but I thought hey, there may be some truth to it. And I agree, I wouldn't want my publisher picking out a car for me. I'd rather have cold hard cash! But if I had to choose a gift from my publisher (well, when I get one) I would say an all expense paid trip somewhere…somewhere that has a spa!

Oh and Amy, are you asking your publisher for David? I didn't know it was open to people, because in that case…I'll take Jensen Ackles.

*laughs* Okay, this sounds bizarre, but… I'd donate my old car at once for the tax write-off.
