The annual Writer's Market, at least traditionally, has had sections on
this, too. Check your local library or bookstore.

You might check out the American Society of Journalists and Authors.
Their Contracts Watch is dedicated to making sure writers copyright
interests are protected. See http://www.contractswatch.com/

Subject: contract examples?

Hi all!
First, thanks for ALL the help with my recent questions. I thanked some
respondents personally, but for the people I didn't thank...Thanks! You
people have been generous with your knowledge and experience and I don't
know what I'd do without you!

Now, I need to set up a copyright agreement with a magazine I sometimes
write for, but I don't have any examples or boilerplate contracts with
which to do so. I am looking for examples of contracts that spell out
copyrights, specifically first rights of first publication and
reprinting rights. This is a great publication and I don't mind them
doing just about whatever they want with most of what I send them, but I
want to retain future rights for myself, just in case.
Does anyone have such a contract they'd share with me or know of an
online source where I can find such a contract?

Thanks!
Traci
