I especially love the time limit you put on client review, Cathy. I think it's enough time, and it doesn't leave you hanging for ages.

P.S. You brought up a good point, Anne. A long project, like your ghostwriting for books, would have its own set of provisions for a contract. I believe you've shared those on your site, haven't you?

Thank you kindly, Cheryl Ann and Anne. :-)

I like that, too, Cheryl Ann (email of understanding). It already sets both sides up for some positive vibes. ;-)

Good stuff, here Cathy… if it's a long work I sometimes add 'goal' and 'method'- method is where I describe the back and forth between me and the client.

Really helpful advice, Cathy — even if it IS free. :>) Thanks a lot for the sample contract. In an Ed Gandia podcast I listened to, the expert called her contract an "e-mail of understanding." I like that — sounds much less intimidating than the word contract, but it accomplishes the same thing, I think.
