Talking Shop – Copyright and Copy Wrong!

Recently, I had a wonderful opportunity to meet with fellow writers and to deliver an educational talk at the December monthly meeting of the Citrus Crime Writers (CCW), the Central Florida chapter of Sisters in Crime, Inc. (SinC) at the Winter Park Public Library.  I spoke for about an hour for Ask An Expert! – Piracy on the High ©s, on issues of copyright, plagiarism, and piracy for book authors. I also reviewed copyright infringement and its main defenses and the registration of creative works. It was quite a lively group which allowed for a lot of interaction on these hot topics for writers.

As the guest speaker, I also drew the name of the lucky winner of a beautiful holiday basket of mystery and craft books, a book tote, SinC pin, and bottle of wine. To add to the holiday cheer, CCW members munched on yummy holiday cupcakes and exchanged favorite mysteries or writing craft books. So glad to spend time with this friendly group of fellow writers!
