Help with abusive authors

[Rae]

Hello! I've seen reviewers that talk about some authors being not so nice. I've created a contract for reviewers to kindly show authors before reviewing. I've given this document to two reviewers and they said it has helped. You can find and download the document below. This isn't for EVERY author, I know many are nice! But if you're iffy about one, this might help.

I've been blogging for over one year, so this is my experience as well. I've had authors say nasty words, or telling me they're going to sue me over 4/5 stars, so this will help weed out some over reacting people. You can download and change what you want, this is just a backbone for a contract.

Thank you and I hope this helps. :)

Yes I'm using it and it works! If they complain about something I refer back to the document, and tell them if they're breaking the rules I set for them I'm not working with them anymore.

I promise you this works. The authors know up front what they're getting and won't get any surprises. I make sure they email me back saying "I agree to your terms" and save the email incase an incident comes up and I need to defend myself.
