With the new year fast-approaching, now is the perfect time to think about making your freelance writing business more “official.” Keeping better records will not only help you to work more productively, but it can help you protect your rights to your work and deal with difficult situations that may arise with clients. It’s always a good idea to get everything in writing, even if we don’t always actually do it.

The LectLaw Library offers quite a few free business forms. They’re not specifically tailored to freelance writers, but there are quite a few there that you may find useful, including:

• Assignment of Contract
• Assignment of Copyright
• Demand for Payment
