Tools for Freelancers
   
(These tools are available for members of The Chrisitan PEN.)

If you want to order any of these tools, please contact the person offering them directly.

If you order a form that is going to be sent out to your clients, you should use it as a go-by and tailor it to fit your needs, not just duplicate it with no changes other than replacing the originator's name.

These forms and flyers are intended to be used as springboards to come up with your own.

Do NOT copy another editor's forms or flyers without the express written permission of the originator. Do NOT send another editor's forms or flyers to your clients and pass them off as your own.
