Can I quote song lyrics or poetry in my book? When can I incorporate other people’s photography and art in my own work? What if I want to write about a real person? Could I be sued for defamation? Am I allowed to use other people's artwork on my website promoting my book, or in my book trailer? In this webinar, publishing attorney and literary agent Jacqui Lipton will cover the publishing law basics, surveying copyright, fair use, defamation, privacy and contract law (contracts with agents and publishing houses and touch on contracts you might sign if you go the indie publishing route). Come along with your legal questions and concerns! Jacqui is a frequent commentator on legal and business issues in publishing and the author of Law and Authors: A Legal Handbook for Writers.
