Business and Legal Forms for Authors and Self Publishers

by Tad Crawford, Ted Crawford

Professional and aspiring writers will find indispensable tools in this practical, complete, and time-saving popular resource, now updated to include a CD-ROM.Twenty essential forms include estimates, invoices, releases, copyright applications, and licenses covering authors' and self-publishers' every need, plus contracts between author and agent, publisher, designer, printer, sales representative, book distributor, and more. The collection provides a second set of forms perforated for easy removal, leaving the book intact for ongoing reference, and a CD-ROM contains the forms in Adobe Acrobat and the most popular word-processing formats for both PC and Mac platforms.

About the author

My new novel, A Woman in the Wild, has just been published by Arcade Publishing (distributed by Simon & Schuster).
The novel tells of Thea, a psychologist in crisis who leaves her established practice in the city for an open-ended retreat in the mountains at the Institute for Healing and Transformation. Feeling lost, betrayed, and stricken by guilt not to have saved her daughter from sexual abuse, she hopes to find a new path to ease her pain and uncertainties. Soon after her arrival, a “wild” man who roamed the forest with a bear is brought to the institute. When the man is given to her care, she performs a suspenseful balancing as she seeks to heal him as well as herself. Hiking and meditating each day, she initiates an inner journey that shakes her free from the familiar. As the months pass, she engages her guilt and sorrow, confronts her failures, weighs the limits of therapy and self-forgiveness, and seeks to unleash the healing powers of the unconscious and of love.

I'm happy to do book clubs and library talks about the novel.
