For additional income, I'm potentially signing up with a company that helps self-published authors develop their books which includes illustration services. They want to add me to their roster and they sent over a contract. Is it normal to sign over all copyrights to the company, or is this negotiable? If it were a trade publisher I'd push harder for more rights, but as I'm considering this work solely for financial purposes and the work is not going in my portfolio, is it a big deal with sign away all my rights?
