&lt;p&gt;Writing is often a solitary activity, but you will eventually involve others in the process, points out Greg Victoroff, Esq., partner at Greg Victoroff &amp;amp; Associates. This may include collaborators, agents, managers, illustrators, and so forth. When you create this connection, it&amp;rsquo;s important to get an agreement down on paper &amp;ndash; a contract. Victoroff lists the four Ps of a contract:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Parties: who is the agreement between, and where is each party physically located?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Property: what is being bargained over? Include the book genre, length, etc. At the end, what product will exist?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Performance: what&amp;rsquo;s the timeline? Who is supposed to do what, and when?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Price: what amount will be paid to whom, and when.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If a contract you have entered has been breached or violated, Victoroff offers his advice &lt;a href="/publishing/legal/w/contracts/7558/legal-steps-an-author-can-take-when-a-service-provider-fails-to-fulfill-their-contract" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
