Lawyer Reviews for Author Agreement Projects
Book Illustration Contract
"I had an excellent experience working with Ryenne! She was patient and thorough, taking time to explain why her revisions/suggestions were important. I learned a ton! Ryenne will be my go-to for future contract reviews and she should be yours too!"
Childrens' book author contract with a publisher
"Very pleased with Amber."

"Sheila was wonderful to work with and really helped me with my contract."
Draft Contract for Independent Fiction Writers
"Ryenne knew what I was asking for better than I did. She wrote a very thorough first draft and instructed me on many legal differences between copyrights and licenses. I value her hard work and patience."
Hi, I'm a first time author and I have contract from a legit publisher in the UK. My editor,(also in publishing) marke it up a little with his concerns, for you. Although you would have caught it.
"I was very pleased with all the work Sara S. did as she knew both very technical details about the contract and also had good strategic ideas. One might want to ask how long the project might take, but in some ways that's largely up to you, like how many changes are your requesting and what do you want her to look at. For the flat fee, we got a lot done. And she has expertise in many areas if you look at her reviews, but it also doesn't hurt that she did a book with a hybrid publisher (one that you have to submit your book - one who I actually spoke to at one point, and they have to choose you.) All in all I think I think we covered quite a bit for the flat fee."
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
