APRIL 8:  EVERYTHING A WRITER NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT BOOK PUBLISHING CONTRACTS IN THE DIGITAL AGE
So you’ve finished your book and are ready to sell it.  How do you protect your ideas while protecting your work?  What is the role of the literary agent?  How do authors and publishers cope with the challenges of new media and new markets?  This workshop will provide an overview of the latest developments in the publishing industry and the legal rights of authors and publishers.
SPEAKER: Greg Victoroff, Esq.

 

APRIL 22:  OPTIONING LITERARY WORKS TO DEVELOP INTO MOTION PICTURES
It is a common practice for producers and studios to use option purchase agreements to control literary material such as screenplays, life story rights, and books from writers in order to allow them the necessary time to further develop the materials, arrange for financing and assemble the creative team to produce a motion picture.  This workshop will outline the basic terms of the option purchase agreement and other important issues to consider when negotiating the deal. This workshop is a must for producers, writers, directors, and anyone interested in the film and television business.
SPEAKER: Akua Boyenne, Esq.
 
MAY 6:  COPYRIGHT AND TRADEMARK BASICS FOR WRITERS

MAY 20: HOW TO GET YOUR FIRST BOOK PUBLISHED
