In an increasingly digitized and complex publishing world, writers need to know how to protect themselves against copyright infringement, legal trouble, and unwise concessions to publishers. Still the author's foremost advocate for copyright protection, fair contracts, and free expression, the Authors Guild has once again partnered with Allworth Press to update this invaluable reference.

Other topics include:
Registering copyrights, including online
Taxes and bookkeeping
Following fair use guidelines
Negotiating contracts with publishers and agents
Obtaining permissions to use others' work
Dealing with periodical, syndication, film, television, play, and audio rights agreements
Handling business disputes
Understanding libel, privacy, and the limits of free expression
Avoiding self-publishing missteps
Planning authors' estates
