Reviews
“Sooner or later, any writer who publishes will encounter a legal question. The answer is probably this book. The Writer’s Legal Guide is sensible, concise, and clear. It belongs on every writer’s bookshelf.”
—Scott Turow, author of The Burden of Proof and Presumed Innocent.
“Indispensable. The complete Shakespeare comes in handy, and a good dictionary is important, but here in the real world, every writer's bookshelf needs the Legal Guide, too.”
—James Gleick, author of Chaos and What Just Happened.
“This invaluable legal Baedecker belongs on every writer’s shelf of essential reference works, right up there with the dictionary, Roget, and the thesaurus. Tad Crawford and Kay Murray answer all the common questions authors ask about contracts, copyright, and the possible perils of publishing —and hundreds more that most of us never knew enough to worry about but should.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin is the author of nine books, most recently a first novel, Three Daughters. She is immediate past president of the Authors Guild
