Business of Writing: Do you have to send 1099s to your editor, cover artist, etc.?
I see more conflicting advice about 1099s every year than anything else. As an author, you're going to get 1099 forms from those who've sent you royalties or other payments, but do you need to send them to those you've paid, such as your editor, cover artist, or other authors you might have split boxset royalties with?
