Protecting Your Writes
Take Ownership of Your Creative Assets
This month at Authortunities, we're addressing a crucial yet often overlooked pressure point for artists and authors: feeling a lack of ownership over our creative work. Welcome to June’s theme: Protecting Your Writes.
When we pour our hearts and energy into creating, it’s essential that we understand how to protect and retain ownership of our intellectual property. This month, we’re demystifying the complex world of rights, royalties, and copyright, empowering you to think strategically about your creative assets.
Throughout June, I’ll guide you through:
What Does It Mean to Own Your Work? (Clarifying creative ownership and why it's essential)
Copyright, Royalties, and Rights—Demystified (Understanding the basics to safeguard your creations)
How to Protect Your Creative Assets From Day 1 (Proactive strategies to secure your creative future)
Your Book Is an Asset: Think Like a Publishing CEO (Shifting your mindset to maximize your book's value)
Join me this month as we embrace our role as authors and CEOs of our own creative empires. It’s time to protect your work, secure your rights, and confidently own every word you write.

Some of the nice things people have said…
I love the reframing of marketing as a creative expression rather than a chore. My neurons are currently on the reroute. Thank you! <3
Get paid! I love it. I’ve read your book. I need to go through it again. I’ve made a little cash 💰 now 😎.
