Current Book: Altar Fires
Step One: The Contract
Click the button above to download your unsigned contract. Please take your time in reading it over. Feel free to contact someone who is well-versed in intellectual property rights law if you’d like. I’d be happy to meet with you through Zoom and discuss any issues or questions you might have. Let me know the date and time (and let me know what time zone you are in), and I will send you a link to Zoom for that meeting. If you are not able to zoom, we can set up a (real) phone call – again, let me know the date, time, and zone. You may also wish to listen to the several podcasts on contracts on The Ambitious Authors' Guide .
Once you are satisfied with the contract, electronically sign it, then upload it using the form below:
