Getting Published is Just the Beginning
Are you an un-agented novelist at the start of your career?
Do you find contracts bewildering?
Have you written a book and don’t know what to do with it?
I have worked in the Intellectual Property (IP) and licensing sector for over a decade. I’m also a novelist and creative writing mentor. Over the years I’ve answered a lot of questions from traditionally published writers who are at the start of their careers.
A lot of writers find the business of licensing IP confusing and contracts impenetrable. Often, even when they seek legal advice, they aren’t given a context in which to interpret this advice.
This easy-to-read guide will give you the tools you need to take charge of your author career.

About the author
Rhoda Baxter
26 books102 followersHi. I’m Rhoda. I write smart contemporary romantic comedy. In real life, I’m a former scientist who now works in intellectual property. The rest of the time I’m a sensible grown up Mum.
I prefer my heroes to be nice guys with a sense of humour and me heroines to be smart and independent. If you like Mhairi McFarlane or Sophie Kinsella, you'll probably like my books tool
I also write women's fiction, often featuring Sri Lankan characters, under the name Jeevani Charika.
A few of my novels have been shortlisted for prestigious awards. If you want to 'try before you buy', you can get a free novella by signing up to my newsletter via my website: www.rhodabaxter.com

This book contains all the things I ought to have known (or found out) before I was first published. It's easy to read whilst being highly informative and often funny, with information on IP rights, contracts, tax, agents, royalties and SO MUCH MORE! Read it before signing a contract! Highly recommended for writers at any stage in their career because it's just so incredibly useful.

Required reading for new authors. A lot of what you need to know all in one place. A useful reference book to keep within reach for when you know there was a good link, but can’t quite remember it.

New author, hoping to get a contract? Read this book before you sign anything and keep it beside you for future reference.
