Sacramento area writers! If you’re interested in publishing issues, and want to see me speak live about publishing legal issues: I’m speaking to the Sacramento branch of the California Writers’ Club tomorrow (February 21) from 11am-1pm.
The topic is WORDS ON FIRE: Rights and Risks, and the newly-updated presentation covers a variety of rights and risks authors need to know about and manage as part of a publishing career.
You can find more details here: http://www.cwcsacramentowriters.org/2015/02/10/susan-spann-february-2015/
The meeting is open to the public and will take place at Cattlemen’s Restaurant: 12409 Folsom Blvd., Rancho Cordova. The organization charges a small fee (which covers lunch – and Cattlemen’s has great food!)
Among other topics, we’ll be taking a look at:
– Major traps and pitfalls in traditional contracts and self-publishing terms of use
– Tax issues for authors
– Scam avoidance, from contests to anthologies and unscrupulous publishers;
– and more!
I hope to see you there!
