Too many writers believe that signing a contract is more important than understanding the terms above the signature line.
They’re wrong. See why on the HUFFPOST!
Whether you’re a writer or you work with writers,
you need to know what’s above the dotted line before you sign on the dotted line.
Your publishing future may depend on it.
What is a Publishing Lawyer?
I provide tailored legal services to both traditionally published and self-publishing authors. For traditional publishing, I review and negotiate contracts with publishers, revising these agreements so your rights are better protected. For self-publishing authors, I assist with contracts related to cover art, layout, printing, distribution, e-book platforms, publicity, and more, helping you navigate the self-publishing landscape.
Don’t leave your literary and publishing endeavors to chance. Protect your rights, safeguard your interests, and enhance publication by engaging professional legal services. Contact me today to discuss your specific needs and to take the first step towards creating the writing business that will help you sustain your writing career.
