Description

"Read this book before you sign your next contract." Dr Kirsty Bunting, Senior Lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University's Manchester Writing School Are you an unagented novelist managing your own writing career? Have you written a book and don't know where to start with getting a publisher? Have you been offered publishing contract - and need to check it's legitimate one? This book will help you: Understand Copyright Get some insight into the publishing process Learn what to look for in a publishing contract (and save money by asking the right questions when talking to lawyers) Know what to expect when dealing with agents and publishers I have worked in the Intellectual Property (IP) and licensing sector for over a decade. I'm also a novelist and creative writing mentor. Over the years I've answered a lot of questions from authors who are at the start of their traditional publishing careers. Many writers find the business of licensing IP confusing and contracts impenetrable. Often, even when they seek legal advice, they aren't given a context in which to interpret this advice. This easy-to-read guide will demystify your publishing options and give you the tools you need to take charge of your author career. "This enjoyable and informative book is essential reading. It will help you decide which publishing model works for you, and will explain how to get the most value out of the writing that you spent so much time and effort on." Emma Byrne - Author of Swearing is Good for You and How to Build a Human "Written in a lovely friendly style that made the information easy to understand and absorb." Amazon review.
