2) Will be writing exclusive stories for you.
Anybody know of links to text-writer agreements, or do people just wing it in this area?
Same goes for cartoons. I found a local guy who'll be making custom exclusive stuff for us.
Before I go to a lawyer - where can I find good = fair agreements in these two cases? Something that protects both buyer and producer? Or, are these cases where they are working for us, therefore we retain all publication rights?

1. That can pretty much be covered in a license agreement and or a purchase agreement.
2. Same as number 1 just more limited.
Such agreements are just like picture or video content. Only real difference is the medium they are in. Same goes for cartoons.
A lawyer is the way to go, yet to keep costs down most paralegals could do this for you and have it signed off by a lawyer for a much cheaper rate.
