Know Your Author and Book Publishing Rights
Apr 3 @ 9:00 am – 11:30 am

Know your Author and Book Publishing Rights

Knowing your rights and when to call an attorney is important as an author, publisher, vendor, and as a person.

Many times, authors:

  • Don’t understand how to read a contract and negotiate the details;
  • Don’t know how to use their own or others’ materials—i.e., pictures, diaries, etc.
  • Don’t understand the use copyrights or trademarks in their books, blog posts, and social media postings.

Copyright laws have recently changed recently … it’s TIME to update what you know; what you thought you know; and what you need to know.

Saturday, April 3, 2021 will provide a practical approach that can save you a lot of money, time, and aggravation.
