On the 7th of July 2023, I will be over at I Am In Print, talking about Ten Things to Think about before you Sign Your First (or next) Contract (using the Rhoda Baxter pen name).

Being a published author involves more than just writing; understanding the business side of today’s publishing world is all important too. During this session, I will encourage you to think of your novel as your Intellectual Property (IP), and publishers and agents as your business partners. As a writer I have been tempted to sign contracts in the past without being fully prepared and, now armed with lots of experience working with IP, I’m here to help you ask the right questions before you sign a contract of your own.

I will be putting together a more detailed course on this topic. If you’re not part of the I Am In Print membership and are interested in this topic, sign up to my newsletter and get the Contracts Checklist. That way you’ll be the first to find out when the course is ready.
