How do I go about finding a copyright expert/professional to help with the copyright/credits page of my self-published book/work?

There’s a website where you can submit a copyright question and a copyright lawyer will respond. The main page of www.justanswer.com deals with intellectual property. But if you click this link, you’ll go directly to the page where you can submit a copyright question.

One suggestion I might also make is that you get familiar with Passive Guy. He’s a lawyer who is an author, and has a blog about writing and the publishing industry. At www.thepassivevoice.com he covers many of the topics of interest to independent authors. On the lower right of his home page is a list of subjects for his blogs, and you might want to read the blog posts relating to “copyright” to get some background info. These are not “how-to” blog posts, but will give you a feel for things that should be considered. He also has a link at the top right of his home page that will take you to his professional site, the place that deals with his “lawyering” side.
