What: It’s Not Boilerplate, It’s the Plot to Your Career

Okay, we’re all wordsmiths and readers, but when it comes to contracts….Well, they’re not exactly romance novels, are they?  But they are important little devils, and can lead many an unsuspecting author astray.  This class will explore basic contract concepts and provide a high-level overview of an author’s rights in her work.  We’ll discuss compensation/consideration, indemnification, and termination, among other legal terms.
Of course, since this presentation is being offered by a lawyer, we can’t escape one disclaimer:
This class shall not constitute legal advice, nor shall it create an attorney-client relationship.
