Summary: Invaluable Resource All Writers Should Invest In
Review: Finally, here's an all-inclusive, easy-to-understand book about issues of intellectual property, copyright, trademarks, online works, the Fair Use doctrine, contracts, agreements, and more. By using helpful symbols and clearly written descriptions, these legal experts provide, in one volume, a wealth of information critical for authors to know. With a little patience, anyone can understand the information the Evans attorneys provide.
They also cover issues such as privacy, domain names, a brief history of intellectual property law, and information about pending legislation. I found the section on agreements for Publishing, Collaboration, and Licensing especially helpful. I did not realize that each book also comes with a CD-ROM containing sample forms and contracts-an extra added bonus that makes this book an invaluable resource all writers, new and experienced, should invest in. Highly recommended.

Summary: Well-written, to the point and organized!
Review: Literary Law Guide for Authors is my 'gold medal'. I treasure this well-written and VERY easy-to-read book! I've written (self-published) a children's book and currently writing a spiritual anthology. In both cases, I desperately needed contract forms and from searching the internet and communicating briefly with the author, I ordered this book. The forms section (in addition to the CD) included every bit of information I needed to create and provide a professional looking contract. I just can't say enough of this book. TIMELY. WELL-WRITTEN. INFORMATIVE.
buy it!!!

Summary: A NECESSARY RESOURCE FOR ALL WRITERS
Review: The LITERARY LAW GUIDE FOR AUTHORS provides necessary information for all writers, both published and unpublished. The mysteries surrounding copyright, trademark, and contracts are explained in clear language absent the usual legalese that is normally predominant in this arena. Tonya Marie Evans and Susan Borden Evans give insight and debunk myths and misconceptions that have become legendary in the literary community. One of the most notable myths that is explained is the "Poorman's Copyright" that has grown into folklore among the novice writer community. The authors drive home the point that the only
true way to protect your work is to register it with the U.S. Copyright Office.The authors utilize a number of techniques often used in textbooks to illustrate their points. They highlight common myths, frequently asked questions, checklists and a number of other strategies designed to inform in an easy manner. The book also comes equipped with a CD-ROM which has sample forms, contracts, and instructions that provide a visual to topics which are discussed in the text. Tonya Marie Evans and Susan Borden Evans provide insight and explanation in areas that are necessary for authors. This is an invaluable tool which serves as an introduction to the legal side of the business of writing. Reviewed by Diane Marbury (HonestD)

Summary: Literary Law Guide For Authors
Review: This book is extremely informative and insightful. As a lay person, I found the information to be in everyday language, written with clarity and provides all of the information I need. I took a copy along with me to my printer as I preparing to have my logo trademarked, and he was surprised at what he learned, and now he's going to purchase a copy for ready reference. As I progress with my own projects I expect to have a very tattered, and well used book on my hands. Thanks for this guide.
