...An author (sometimes, in reference to a woman author, authoress) is defined both as "the person who originates or gives existence to anything" and that authorship determines responsibility for what is created. The second entry goes on to clarify that, when using the term "author," the "anything" which is created is most usually associated with written work. Read full entry

What author and/or book would Is there an author or specific
book(s) that are set in
California, that provide a
sense of the modern california
lifestyle? I am not looking
for a 'Places to Visit' kinda
book, but perhaps a novel or
similiar. I am guessing modern
day Hollywood and San
Francisco would be part of the
setting.

What are the rights of an When an academic or
professional journal publishes
an article, what are the
rights of the author, assuming
there is no payment or fee
involved?
Is this determined by
copyright law or is there
typically a written publishing
agreement - a contract -
between the author and the
journal?
If this is governed by a
contract, is there a standard
custom for the terms of this
agreement?
What rules apply if there is
no written agreement? Who owns
the copyright and the reprint
rights - the journal or the
author?
Thanks.

Unless there is a written agreement to the contrary, the author of an article generally owns the copyright to the article. There are exceptions, however, such as work for hire. There is no such thing as a "standard custom" for ANY contract. Within legal limits, of course, every contract can be customized depending on what the contracting parties want to happen. What may be right for you, may not be right for some. As a disclaimer, I should say that my answer is generalized based purely on the very limited facts provided. Your post sounds like a real issue for you. If that is the case, then I strongly suggest you speak to your attorney. An attorney will be able to flesh out the relevant facts, some of which you may not be aware. |

What author do you recommend Or suspense. I've read and
loved all of Reginald Hill and
James Lee Burke and I'd like
to find another author I'd
like equally well. Don't know
where to start though. Thanks!

YOU HAVE GOT TO READ TESS GERRITSEN!! (Forgive me for the caps, but she really is that great!) If you are into crime(medical)/thriller this is what you are looking for! 'Harvest' was Gerritsen's thriller that brought her onto the mainstream market where everyone began to appreciate her skill for writing a great thriller novel. So I suggest that you start there.. Harvest is the book when Gerritsen ultimately draws on her years of experience as a doctor to deliver a harrowing and brilliantly crafted novel of suspense. When a heart intended for a transplant, has its origin questioned by a doctor, and nothing can prepare her for the grisly final reckoning. Hope this helps!! Good luck finding the right author for you. xxx |
