Journalist Michael Barker has managed to make articles on theoretical Bolivian biochemistry interesting - so making contracts sound simple is a swim in the sea for him. Mike translates the dry language of contracts into a simple step-by-step tour through all the top money making clauses. He is also a whiz at research - where hasn't he sourced this information from? The Australian Society of Authors, Copyright Council, publishers, rights managers, multi-published authors and even agents - he's cornered them all. And it is presented in a fun, easy to follow format that will take years off your learning curve.
What people say:
'This course has given me a terrific understanding of the complexity of a publisher's contract... and of the traps. The layout of the units makes it easy to develop a check list for the magic day when I do have a contract to check. May it come soon.' (Peter Hart)
