    About this ebook

    "No writer will want to be without this book." -Jean M. Auel, author of The Clan of the Cave Bear and other books in The Earth's Children series.


    Writing is your passion. Making a living with your words is your dream. Taking charge of your business is the key to having it all.

    The Law (In Plain English)® for Writers describes how to take advantage of your skills and profit from your work. It looks at the business of being a writer and explains how to succeed in every area affecting a writer's livelihood. Learn all the essential details of:

    Submissions
    Permissions
    Freedom of Information Requests
    Book and Magazine Contracts
    Taxes
    Royalties
    Copyright Ownership
    Dispute Resolution

    The ability to work with others is another crucial component in a writer's business. Agents, collaborators and editors can take your work to the next level-discover how to make these relationships work. Designers, illustrators and photographers may be critical to making your writing come alive-use employment and copyright laws to protect yourself. Vanity presses, print-on-demand presses and self-publishing may be your ticket to bigger and better projects-find what you need to know about these alternatives.

    For every writer-
    whether first-time author, seasoned freelancer or professional journalist-
    The Law (In Plain English)® for Writers unveils the mysteries of getting published.
