OverviewTake charge of your author career Are you an un-agented novelist managing your own writing career? Have you written a book and don't know where to start with getting a publisher? This book is for you. I have worked in the Intellectual Property (IP) and licensing sector for over a decade. I'm also a novelist and creative writing mentor. Over the years I've answered a lot of questions from authors who are at the start of their traditional publishing careers. A lot of writers find the business of licensing IP confusing and contracts impenetrable. Often, even when they seek legal advice, they aren't given a context in which to interpret this advice. This easy-to-read guide will give you the tools you need to take charge of your author career. You will learn: Chapter 1: Becoming a professional Writer Chapter 2: Intellectual Property Chapter 3: Slicing up IP - Your work is more than the one thing you wrote Chapter 4: Contracts Chapter 5: Publishing Pathways Chapter 6: Traditional publishers Chapter 7: Vanity publishers Chapter 8: Self publishing aka Independent ('indie') publishing Chapter 9: Working with an agent Chapter 10: Branding and Pen names Chapter 11: Self promotion Chapter 12: Alternative sources of income (until you have your big hit) Chapter 13: It'll be okay, keep writing Chapter 14: Resource list Full Product DetailsAuthor: Rhoda S BaxterPublisher: Juxtaposition Publishing Imprint: Juxtaposition Publishing Dimensions: Width: 12.70cm , Height: 0.50cm , Length: 20.30cm Weight: 0.104kg ISBN: 9781913752026ISBN 10: 191375202 Pages: 98 Publication Date: 02 October 2020 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In stock We have confirmation that this item is in stock with the supplier.
