Building on the best-selling success of the original Self-Publisher's Legal Handbook, Helen Sedwick wrote this expanded second edition to help writers stay out of court and at their desks.
Using 30 years of legal experience, Sedwick shows writers how to
Set up their business
Protect their copyright
Avoid infringement
Spot scams
Save on taxes.
This second edition covers additional topics including
Choosing a pen name
Using lyrics and images
Writing about real people
Fighting content theft
Dealing with estate planning
Expanding beyond the book.
Don't lose your copyright by signing a bad contract, or waste money by buying into a scam, or lose sleep by getting sued for defamation. Self-Publisher's Legal Handbook helps writers navigate the legal aspects of writing and independent publishing.
