body: My situation is as follows:
  I signed a contract with a book publisher to write a book.
  
  
  The problem is now I wish to terminate the contract early. I have not received any money from the publisher yet. The editing process has just started, they started editing one chapter (out of 10).
  
  
  Normally in this kind of case, will I be required to pay any damages? I am ok with giving up the rights to my work to the publisher. (It is a children's workbook), however if possible I would like to avoid paying any damages.
  
  
  Thanks for help.
