This webinar is for freelance editors who are=0D=0A interested in protecting the rights and responsibilities of both=0D=0A editor and author with a written service agreement. A clearly worded=0D=0A service agreement aligns the expectations of both authors and editors,=0D=0A which prevents disagreements and hard feelings on both sides. Aligned=0D=0A expectations between the parties prevent editors from feeling=0D=0A exploited and authors from feeling ripped off.=0D=0A=0D=0APlease note that nothing in this webinar constitutes legal advice and=0D=0A we do not have an attorney?client relationship.

They will also=0D=0A learn how to respond to problems caused by the author breaking the=0D=0A service agreement or if the author accuses the editor of breaking it=0D=0A and how to craft an appropriate remedy, if any.=0D=0A=0D=0AParticipants will need an internet connection and access to Microsoft=0D=0A Word or Google Docs in order to read the supplemental materials=0D=0A provided (a sample service agreement, sample request for payment,=0D=0A sample communications to authors).
