Assignment Letters and Contracts

Are your magazine’s stories perfect from the first draft? Do you rarely rewrite content, and seldom send back multiple fix notes to writers? Do you have a transparent agreement to use contributors’ work in all of your content offerings? After this session, your answer to all of these questions will be “yes.” A master of editing and workflow, Jessica will show you how to communicate effectively with writers to reduce inefficient back-and-forth edits and nourish long-term writer-editor relationships.
