According to my publisher, Kathie McGuire from Brighton Publishing, LLC, there is something called "First Rights" for publishers. These rights are violated when a manuscript is published in part or in its entirety on websites or in the public domain. At this point, the publisher no longer enjoys exclusive rights to the manuscript and most, if not all publishers, will not touch it.
Also, keep in mind, if you have someone that is writing with you, they must also be included in the credits for authorship of the book. To not include them in the contracts could eventually cause legal ramifications for both you and your publisher!
Good luck and keep on writing!
