Join us to hear about this accessible, reader-friendly handbook, an invaluable resource for authors, agents, and editors in navigating the legal landscape of the contemporary publishing industry.
In this session, Jacqueline Lipton will talk about her new book from University of California Press, LAW & AUTHORS: A LEGAL HANDBOOK FOR WRITERS. She'll answer questions about the book and the publication process as well as talking about some of the nuts and bolts of the law related to the publishing industry for writers of all stripes: from freelance journalists to self-published authors to those publishing with traditional presses (either with or without an agent). Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing.
Jacqueline D. Lipton is an internationally recognized professor of law, business/legal consultant, and literary agent who has published widely on contract, copyright and trademark law, cyberlaw, privacy, and defamation issues, with an emphasis on laws relating to the publishing industry. She is a regular columnist on legal issues for authors and other creatives for Catapult, the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators, Savvy Authors, Luna Station Quarterly, and the Authors Alliance. She speaks regularly around the country on these issues, as well as, since March of this year, participating in a LOT of webinars!
