I’m writing a book, I need a contract for the people I interview.?
Question by Soul on Ice: I’m writing a book, I need a contract for the people I interview.?
I will be interviewing subjects for the book. The subjects need to understand that I am writing the book to make money and they are volunteering their info knowing that the revenue from the book will not be distributed among those being interviewed. Also, I need to let them know that I honor complete confidentiality. Is there a template or do I need to seek a contract lawyer?

Answer by leahanna412003
Have an attorney draw up a simple statement for them to sign letting them know that the information that they are giving is completly voluntary. It must be signed by the person being interviewed and then notarized to be completely legal. OR, it may be easier to ask for the info and tell them IF they desire you can quote them in your book, but there will be no compensation. If the book doesn’t sell, then how would you do that? Because nothing is for certain.
