In reply to Halbhufner. My guess is it means Canadian dollars.

Thanks, Heather, and all the best with your little one.
I am an editor struggling to write a contract with an illustrator who wants me to check his text and suggest improvements for a series of stories on web and app for which she wants total royalties and copyright.
Very vague brief. I’ll try to adapt your contract to suit us both. Thanks again, you’re extremely generous.

Halbhufner, I believe the CAN$ means Canadian currency.

[…] For all you artists and writers out there, especially when the two of you on occasion must work together, contracts are crucial to large projects. In my experience it can be pretty difficult to find the information you need online without paying someone for it, and lawyers are just out of the question unless you are ready to drop $1000-2000 or more. I’ve had clients who know lawyers who write up contracts, I’ve written up my own, searched around, and I’ve finally found some great information and combined two contracts with a few tweaks to make the ULTIMATE AIR TIGHT CONTRACT! (the originals were from a client and from blog.illustrationcastle.com) This contract includes Royalties, Artist’s rights to a contract, the option to purchase a contract, NDA, protection for both parties, payment scheduling, advanced deposit, cancellation, survival, and much much more. It’s about 7-8 pages long so it’s quite a read, but if you ever wanted an air tight contract that equally protects both sides and is fair, this is the contract for you! Feel free to use it, modify it, or just learn from it! […]
