Free Ghostwriting Agreement
Service Agreement
You bust your knuckles delivering 50,000 clean words, and if the client stiff-arms the final payment, you just spent 150 hours working for free while they own the book. Get paid, or they steal your blueprints and build the house without you.
Pro Contractor Tip
Always include a 'Reversion of Rights' clause that automatically voids all IP transfer if the final invoice remains unpaid after 30 days.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Ghostwriting Agreement, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.
