Write You - Contracts: Don't Pick Up Your Pencil

I refer to the temptation for many artists, designers and other creatives to jump the gun and begin work on a project before there is a signed contract.
It is not unreasonable to make some quick sketches to outline initial ideas as part of a preliminary discussion. But since anything done at this stage is purely speculative, it is best to limit the time spent until there is some kind of commitment by the client.
If it is difficult to define the scope of a project until a greater amount of preliminary work is done, consider drafting a separate agreement covering the preliminary phase.
When you begin work before the contract is signed, you are expending your time and skills in the expectation that you will eventually be paid. But without a signed contract, the client has no obligation to go through with the project, make any payment, or assign the project to you if he does go forward.
If the client himself won’t commit to you, or can’t commit to going ahead with the project itself, be wary. You may be dealing with a difficult client.
The same is true if you are being squeezed by your client to push more and more out of you before he commits to you - if he commits to you. It is not unknown for a less than scrupulous client to milk an artist for his concepts and ideas, then turn around and have the work done by someone else.
You may invest a lot of time without receiving a penny. Without a signed contract, you have little recourse.

Are you confused by all the information you receive from various radio stations? Do they all tell you they are #1 and you don’t know who to believe? Most of them probably are #1 so believe it or not, they aren’t lying to you. The question is, “What are they #1 in and is it a
