Publishing Law 101: What Every Author MUST Know

Publishing Law 101: What Every Author MUST Know Before Getting Published

With Francine Ward, Esq.

Imagine this, you’ve done the work and now you are ready to publish your first book. Where do you begin? How do you find an agent? How do you secure a publisher? Should you even have one? And what do you do when you get one?  What should you know about the contract you’ll be asked to sign?  Not all contracts are created equal, and not all lawyers have experience negotiating book contracts. Francine has had the experience—as a book lawyer and a published author who got a lucrative book deal.  Join her in this highly informative session, where you will learn:

• Successful strategies for getting a book deal;
  


• Four (4) things you must do—like it or not;
  


• The most important book contract clauses (not the advance or royalty)
  


• And so much more!
  

If you are interested in getting published, this just may be the most important seminar you ever attend.

Presenter: Francine Ward, Esq. is a business and intellectual property attorney with a focus on copyrights, trademarks, publishing, social media, and entertainment law issues.  She understands the business of publishing from a legal perspective.  But wait, there’s more! In 2003, Random House paid Francine 6-figures to write her first book, Esteemable Acts: 10 Actions for Building Real Self Esteem.  Why? You will learn the answer when you join her on November 16, 2016 for the seminar.
