Here's a question that I have been kicking around for a while and I would like to hear some opinions from the other writers here.
Do you peeps have a favorite contract template? I haven't found one I like yet. The versions on Elance are too wordy (4-11 pages) and are skewed toward the buyer's interests. For projects under $1,000 a contract of more than 1-2 pages is simply not a feasible option.
I have a lot of experience negotiating contracts in my Purchasing job so I figure I will put together my own eventually. Maybe we can put our heads together and brainstorm a simple freelance writer contract that everyone can customize to their own needs.
Let me know who wants in on this and we can start kicking around requirements and suggestions for a sample contract in the comments section.
