If you are a freelancer, everything you write is yours. It doesn't matter who paid for the work, or if it is content on your own website. You wrote it - it's yours.

Print vs Digital Rights

Find out how your work will be used. Ask the editor if your article will be published in print, or if it is to used on the internet.The rights are different, namely print rights and digital rights. Both rights are seperate and should be charged accordingly.

Sell Your Articles Again

If you are planning on selling your article elsewhere, you might want to consider not allowing web publication for a period of time. Plagiarism is rife on the internet.

Work for Hire

If you do specifically agree to "work for hire" and sign your rights away, make sure that you are paid VERY well. It is seldom worth handing over your copyright to an organisation.

Wordy thought for today:

"Triheens" are stockings without feet.
