SFWA is a strong resource for model contracts in trad-pub settings, like short stories and novels. But what about our games and comics creators? Many writers are operating under fuller employment contracts, but for our indie and small-press creators especially, it’s important to establish and uphold best practices. In this active workshop in partnership with SFWA Contracts and Legal Affairs, SFWA’s Games and Comics creators will develop draft model contracts and best-practice documents that our organization can offer as templates to support games and comics creators in 2026. And if there’s time? We’ll tackle pay rate transparency issues, too!
