Wyrm’s Workshop Creator Agreement

Let us know how you can contribute to the Wyrm’s Workshop. Upon receipt of this form, I will add you into consideration for Wyrm’s Workshop purchases. You will receive an invitation to our Discord, and you will be contacted when we receive an order that would be a good match for your expertise. Note that we will have many creators, and purchases may be sporadic, so there may be a considerable delay before your first project and between projects. Because this is an ongoing project, if I contact you for an entry, and you’re not available at that time, just let me know, and I’ll pass it on to someone else and keep you in mind for future entries. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Dale via email (dale@wyrmworkspublishing.com) or Discord (@WyrmworksDale).
