What are the most frequently asked questions when it comes to author contracts?

The most frequently asked questions when people are confronted with their publishing contract are: "Do I get a say in the cover?", "Can I have the right to go to Australia and promote the book?" and, "What level of royalty will I have and what control will I have on it?" Now, the big book chains demand a very high discount for their books and that high discount means your royalty gets lowered so the author wants to know what that really means.
