Law (in Plain English) for Writers

Two attorneys walk you through every area affecting your livelihood as a writer, including but not limited to copyright, free speech, submissions, agents, taxes, royalties, licensing, permissions, contracts, and protecting your intellectual property. They share advice and strategies for negotiation, avoiding disputes, and resolving the disputes you can't avoid. Questions answered here, wether you're a magazine writer looking to protect your sources, a memoirist looking to protect yourself against retribution by the villains of your story, or a first time author wondering what to make of a 20 page fine print book contract. This updated edition came out in 2018 and is an essential business book for anyone who is getting paid to write.
