Contracts aren't everything.

The Boston Globe's Alex Beam had an interesting column for anyone who does ghosting work. New York-based Penn Group allegedly sued two of the ghosts it has worked with - not for poor work, but because they got mad at the writers, who no longer wanted to work with them. We obviously can't take a side second hand - it may actually be the writers, might be Penn, or responsibility for the legal explosions could be mutual. But the story does remind any writer to check the reputation of any outfit with which you're considering doing business. A contract is supposed to be a description of the terms of a relationship, but it's no guarantee of the experience, no matter how favorably the document is worded.
