contracts

[vgal]

Hi,

I did a search in this section but didn't come up with much...

I was wondering how many of you copywriters and content writers use a contract for your projects. If anyone has a sample one they use and would be willing to share, I would love you forever. On another note, maybe you know of a site that has a good sample writing contract for this kind of work.

Thank you :)

Why not just write your own. Any agreement made between two parties can be a contract. Write down what you want, write down what you expect. There's your contract.

If you are entering into relatively minor deals then an exhaustive ad voluminous contract may put others off. Watertight contracts take a long time to write and to get right.

If you're looking at bigger deals that absolutely do need a contract then you need to be talking to a lawyer, not people on an Internet forum.

I would say a hard contract would be needed for long term or retainer projects, you can find templates online, however I would consult with an attorney before making anything formal.

Hi vgal,
I have a solution to your problem, but I can't give the link to you as I am not allowed yet. Can we share it via PM?

But it is always better to consult a lawyer and have a copy of the contract in pen and paper if you are expecting a long term big contract.

Head to your local bookstore or library and take a look at some of the legal forms that can be found in consulting/freelancing books. After you have seen a handful, you can adapt them to your needs. Then have somebody who's business-sense you respect review it. Or you could take a prepared contract to a lawyer so they aren't starting from scratch. Much of what is online is garbage.
