The Writer And Contracts
Do you need a contract in order to write an article?
The short answer to that question is no, but in reality it is better for you if you can get one. Contracts spell out all of the terms, and give you a way to stand up for yourself if something should go awry. If you don’t have one, you won’t have much leverage if the publication decides they are going to do things differently than you discussed.
Better to protect yourself if you can.
