Legal Question in Administrative Law in California

Re: work for hire writer's contract

I'm not ordinarily in favor of using forms, except where the Judicial Council requires them (for routine court filings), but this may be an appropriate circumstance. It seems pretty straightforward, especially if this deal is in the $10K area and not $100K and up. I'd go to a very large bricks-and-mortar bookstore and browse through the self-help law books covering law for authors, copyright, etc. and see if you can find either a tear-out fill-in-the-blanks form or a model contract that you can copy with non-substantive modifications to fit your needs.
