Our next event to help writers - the Business of writing
The Business of Writing
What’s the difference between a copyright and a trademark? How do I “get a copyright”? What can I deduct from my taxes legally as a writer, even if I’m not published yet? Can I use AI for my book cover? If someone bought my book and used parts of it can I sue them?
Hear a distinguished panel of industry experts, including a writer and accountant, an agent, an entertainment industry attorney and professor, and a Chief Technology Officer discuss these and related subjects. We may simulcast this on Zoom – we are still working on details.
This is what GLAWS calls our “Special Speaker Events”. They are open to the public; people that attend and benefit from our outreach programs are encouraged to join so that we can continue “Writers helping writers”.
