Peter is a gem – got a call within 20 minutes of submitting my request via the PAIL website. We had a solid
30-minute chat where he took the time and care to explain all the nuances of the contract I wanted to draw up
(a work-for-hire contract to safeguard my rights as an author over my work when hiring illustrators). Fast,
dependable and infinitely patient with the barrage of questions I sent his way. He and his team turned the
contract around in three days. Worth every penny.
