Lisa,

It took me three months to complete the negotiations on my publishing contract. Make sure that you always maintain the copyright and ownership of the image. Also put a time limit on how long the contract will run. Most companies want to own the image and have no limit on contract span of time. Good for the publishing company, but very bad for the artist. You always want to be able to completely and cleanly terminate a relationship and contract if you become unhappy with the publisher's performance.
