Hi, I am new to Freelancer so please accept my apologies if i do not follow the normal process. We are a printing group planning to expand and start a new publishing arm in the fiction book market both in actual print as well as e-format. I will be heading this new division and as such am starting from new. Previous to this we were commissioned printers for the material and this was directly for publishers and authors. I have no knowledge or experience of the legal rulings in this field. However as a printing firm, we have seen alot of things happen in the publishing world and am well aware of how intense disputes can arise between authors and publishers and so by having a legal expert on our team, am wanting to ensure it never is an issue to ourselves. We require an expert legal contract writer who we would want to work with us for a few hours every week for approximately a year. Some weeks it may simply be for a few hours and other weeks it may be more. All work will be done virtually (online or via Skype) - so location is NOT an issue, and so you can fit this in with your other commitments - we are relaxed with our terms and conditions. We have many tasks to have undertaken but i will only list one task below, as its a trial task to see who we can find that fits the role and we feel comfortable with. Task 1: Draft a contract whereby it covers EVERY ONE ISSUE in favour of us (ie the new publishing company) We are planning to hire a few authors (some new and some with existing books that have not been published) whereby they will simply be given a fee and they agree to hand the book and the entire copyrights to it to us i.e the new publishing company we are establishing. Terms that we would want covered are on a global basis. [login to view URL] Ownership of the work. [login to view URL] confidentiality as to the fee we pay. [login to view URL] Complete confidentiality as to authorship. (We may not want to publish the author name to ensure they are not poached by other publishers) In essence giving us complete ownership in every way to the authored work in exchange for a fee. [login to view URL] areas that we would require is for the author / employee to NOT engage with any other company without our permission , in any matter connected to us i.e. if they write for others the ask for our permission first as the last thing we want is to invest in building up an author and then once they have a following for them to move to another publisher. 5.A further area expected to be covered would be the author/employee not engaging in any activity that is linked to our company with any other company without our permission i.e. doing a review on radio concerning the books etc I have only listed 5 points above however i will CLEARLY STATE i expect you to have many many more points than this. A simple google search allows you to find a great deal of contractual points. So please do NOT do a half hearted job. I have obtained draft contracts from local law firms which I am going to use to compare with the contracts you devise in order to select the best freelancer. The key in selecting a legal expert is to see how FAR and WIDE the contract can go in protecting our interests. If you sit back and imagine you were in my position whereby you would invest in authors and you would want to protect your investment fully, how would you devise the contract??? This is the first task. Expert legal practitioners will probably use a standard template they have on file - And i do not mind this as i understand they will simply add a few points. Its a very quick task to allow me to locate the best freelancer. Feel free to chat with me if you want to discuss this in detail

Hi, I am currently doing masters in law and this is certainly the task for me. I will protect your interests fully. Please start a chat with me, if you think we can work (since I don't see your name and I need to ask you a few questions). I'll then do the necessary contract for you. I have some experience in this type of work, as I used to work for a bank and write the loan contracts. Obviously, the bank interests had to be fully protected. Thank you for considering my application
