What to Expect from Your Contract Employer (and What They Should Expect from You)

This chapter covers contracts in simple, easy to understand language, including length of engagement, deadlines, who owns rights to your work, non-compete clauses, personal service contracts, sponsorship or trade for promotion, terms of payment, and other commonly asked questions about contracts in a freelance career. Chapter 3 will also discuss what parts of the contract may be negotiable and how to negotiate. The chapter will also cover things like integrity, professionalism, how to best communicate with your contract employer, and how to handle disputes or renegotiate if the work you’ve been hired to do changes.
