Author’s Special Note to Poets and Writers
Because I am primarily a writer of music and lyrics, I use a lot of examples from the music business in this book. But don’t think I don’t understand the needs of other kinds of creative people. I am also a nonfiction writer and inventor, and many of my acquaintances are poets, fiction writers, and so on. The information here can be used by you too! All the forms, contracts, practical advice, tips, and common sense wisdom applies to you no matter what kind of creative work you do. I know for a fact that this kit has been used by: Game Creators, Designers, Spoken Word Artists and More.
Introduction to Contracts
These contracts are designed for the layperson in lay-language; they will help artists understand the rights they have with their creative works.

If you’re a poet, you may collaborate with a composer. If you’re an illustrator you may design a CD cover. You never know where your talents may take you. In my experience, creative talent crosses the boundaries of media. I’ve wanted to make this book universal in its application and appeal, but I also wanted to speak from my own experience so you can see where I’m coming from. I hope you find it helpful. That is my sincere goal.
