The book covers a wide range of critical topics, including:

  • Decoding Publishing Contracts: From advances and royalties to subsidiary rights and reversion clauses, “Legal Ink” explains the fine print that authors need to understand to make informed decisions.
  • Negotiating Deals: Offering practical strategies for securing favorable terms, this book empowers authors to negotiate with confidence and avoid common pitfalls.
  • Managing Intellectual Property: Detailed guidance on copyright registration, handling infringement, and trademarking titles and characters ensures that authors can protect their work long after publication.
