Do you or someone you know have a book idea kicking around—or perhaps even an unpublished manuscript in your desk drawer?
No surprise to you, I’m sure, but there are laws that affect your book, article, and other creative output. This coming Saturday, April 30, attorney Maria Crimi Speth offers a presentation on what you need to know.
She will be one of five speakers to offer advice to authors. The topics also include marketing, personal and family stories, editing tips, and self-publishing.
Speth is an intellectual property attorney at Jaburg Wilk and the author of Protect Your Writings: A Legal Guide for Authors. At the event, “Attendees will learn about the laws relating to writing books, articles, blogs and how to avoid making common, costly legal mistakes.”
Host: Scottsdale Society of Women Writers
When: Saturday, April 30, 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
