The Creative Penn: Why authors must understand copyright

Does working on your novel — or, heck, even marketing novels you’ve already written — sound more fun than boning up on copyright and contract clauses?

Most authors will say yes, but Joanna Penn and her most recent podcast guest want to remind you of just how important the legalese is for your career.

Penn talks with author and professor Rebecca Giblin about how important an understanding of copyright is, which clauses to watch out for in contracts, what kind to seek, and more.

You can read a transcript of the conversation or listen to it on The Creative Penn.
