One year seems pretty brief. Wonder if he is just being brought in to work on one specific project.
Most US states have a time limit on contract v. full time work.
Plus, Shawn mentioned that because he's contract he can still create other works -- with care and concern for not crossing the streams

While purposefully a short-term contract, nothing will prevent WotC and Merwin from renewing that contract if they want/need to.
A lot of positions, or even entire professions, are on renewable one-year contracts. Doesn't mean Merwin will only work for WotC for one year.
A number of folks who had prominent roles in D&D were on contracts. Mainly it came down to two things:
- There's a specific project they are working on
- They don't want to relocate to Washington for a full-time job
On year is pretty standard and would make sense for working on a specific project.
