Praise for The Legal Guide for Writers, Artists and Other Creative People: Protect Your Work and Understand the Law

"We authors and artists are good at creating but not so good at navigating the legal and financial side of our business. That is why I'm so gateful for a foolproof guide like this one to help show the way."
—Willie Geist, NBC's Today & MSNBC's Morning Joe, bestselling author

"For a clear, plain language easy-to-read explanation of the law affecting the rights of authors, painters, photographers, etc., you won't do better. And it's even fun to read."
—Ira Glasser, former executive director of the ACLU
