Summary

I'm an author with a completed draft confidentiality agreement, roughly seventeen sections, governed by New York law. I need a New York admitted attorney to review it for enforceability and tighten anything that wouldn't hold up. The agreement covers unpublished manuscript material, worldbuilding, and characters for a fantasy novel series, and is intended for use with freelance editors and proofreaders. It includes a clause restricting use of the material for AI training, which I'd like reviewed for enforceability in particular. I also need a shortened version of the same agreement, about one page, for lighter freelance work like proofreading. Same core protections, far less weight. Please also confirm the agreement addresses ownership of the editor's or proofreader's own suggested changes. This is a review and revision job, not drafting from scratch. The draft is complete and I'll provide it on engagement. I need this back within one week. Please quote a flat fee rather than an hourly rate, and confirm your New York bar admission in your proposal. Happy to answer questions before you quote.
