“I have been a copywriter/content writer for 23 years and recently retired to become a full-time fiction author. I knew a lot about copyright law but there was so much more I didn’t know! Especially since I’ve been working with new social media platforms, TikTok creation and other mediums besides just the written word. This book is so incredibly helpful and the info is easy to understand and not stuffy and boring. I know I will reference it again and again. It’s a must for all creatives!”
