The Writer's Chatroom Topic Chat: Who Owns What?
Published: Sun, 10/25/15
Do you really own everything you write? In most cases, absolutely. But there are a few situations where the answer would be "maybe". Janet Reid discusses one potential minefield. Tonight, we will discuss it too.
http://jetreidliterary.blogspot.com/2015/01/query-question-previous-use-of.html We have some members who are co-writing stories. Do you have a written contract, spelling out who owns what, and the terms of your shared work? Some of our members write fanfic. How much do they have to change, to sell those stories as originals? AC Croom's first published novel came from an idea birthed in one of our prompt chats. Is the work entirely his?
Where is the line between inspiration and stealing?
Join us tonight to work through these complicated pitfalls. If there is time after the topic workshop, we will open the room for any questions you may have. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We look forward to chatting with you!
