Description

Take charge of your author career

Are you an un-agented novelist managing your own writing career?

Have you written a book and don't know where to start with getting a publisher?

This book is for you.

I have worked in the Intellectual Property (IP) and licensing sector for over a decade. I'm also a novelist and creative writing mentor.

Over the years I've answered a lot of questions from authors who are at the start of their traditional publishing careers. A lot of writers find the business of licensing IP confusing and contracts impenetrable. Often, even when they seek legal advice, they aren't given a context in which to interpret this advice.
