When you begin your project with Storyphile, we prepare a letter of agreement that describes how we’ll work together. The letter covers details like the following:

• specific tasks and responsibilities
• the approach we’ve agreed to
• the schedule for our meetings and interviews
• the deposit, fee and payment schedule
• details and due dates for the products or services you’ll get
• copyright and confidentiality
• the process we’ll use for changes to our agreement

Before you sign, we’ll go through all the details with you—to make sure everything is clear and there are no surprises.

Interview and meeting schedules

Storyphile will work with you to come up with a schedule for our interviews and meetings. That helps us keep our business on track. And it lets you plan your life.

Terms

Your letter of agreement will set out what we’ll do, how we’ll do it, how long it will take, how much it will cost and what you’ll get for your money.
