Legal Issues For Authors With Daniel E Boen

Whether you are self-publishing or seeking traditional representation, all authors need to be aware of copyright laws, contracts and legal issues surrounding your intellectual property.

• How does Copyright work, and how can you protect your work from being plagiarized by someone else?
• Should you start your own business?
• How do you decipher the legalese of publisher contracts? Should you have your own contracts when contracting illustrators, editors etc for your self-published work?
• Can you write fan fiction or parodies of other peoples work without their permission?

Minnesota Lawyer Daniel E Boen runs his own legal practice specializing in Entertainment Law and Intellectual Property Law. He is also a self-published author, and a musician, so he understands both the artist's side and the business side of legal issues that all authors should be aware of.
