Book Law for Authors

At a time when there are many different paths to both traditional and independent publication, Book Law for Authors is an essential reference for writers who need to know the basics of copyright law, publishing contracts, defamation, and more. This volume in Lawyers for the Creative Arts’ 40th Anniversary series of Law Guides in the various disciplines offers practical information for authors that will help clients identify their needs for legal counsel and better utilize the pro bono assistance available to them through LCA, a nonprofit legal services organization based in Chicago.
