What Every Writer Should Know
Published November 25th, 2009 | 
One of the things I’m always preaching is that writers and bloggers should know something about publishing and copyright law. One of my gripes about graduate-level writing programs has to do with the fact that almost none of them offer any sort of coursework on publishing law or the publishing business in general.
Well, there’s a neat little website by intellectual property lawyer, Lloyd J. Jassin (author of The Copyright Permission and Libel Handbook) called Copylaw.com that offers articles on the subject of publishing law that every writer and blogger should read. Articles on copyright infringement, fair use, publisher’s business insurance, Work-for-hire agreements and negotiating book contracts among other articles and resources. Bookmark this site.
