[QUOTE="Bacris, post: 3479641, member: 42502"] I can't speak for all other publishers, but from my perspective: The publisher should have submission guidelines or should be able to supply you with submission guidelines when you pose your query. I'd suggest a query that would be summarized as "hey, I have this idea I'd like to develop and publish. Are you interested?" - but I'd recommend making sure the publisher carries that type of product line. The publisher would also have legal documents already... or take the burden to create the legal documents. For example, at Dreamscarred Press, I use a Work for Hire contract for freelance writers and artists. Depending on the agreement with the author / artist, this either grants limited or full use of the content and very clearly documents what is allowed and what is not allowed, including payment details, submission guidelines, timelines, and such. The Work for Hire contract also has a Non-Disclosure Agreement. This is something I supply, not something I expect the writer / artist to supply. Just my perspective :) [/QUOTE]
