The contributor deal

You send it. I make something of it. Your name stays on it.

One plain-language deal for everything you send me. It's the box you tick on the form, and here's what it means.

The box you tick
“I'm sending this to Aaron to use, remix and turn into his own work. He credits me by name every time.”

Leave it unticked and what you send stays between us. Nothing posts until I've read it.

The deal
  1. You keep your rights. You give me permission to use, edit and remix what you send, in print, online and in things I sell.
  2. Credit, always. Your name, or the name you choose, goes on anything that uses your work.
  3. A share is coming. Not yet, and said honestly: Boiling Point is growing into a crowdsourced, crowdfunded small press, and contributors share in it once it earns.
  4. Change your mind. Ask before it's published and it comes out.
