Passionate Ink – Some Like it Hot

July Workshop – Author Business Practices, Trademark & Copyright Workshop with W.D. Drames

Don’t miss Passionate Ink’s “Author Business Practices, Trademark, & Copyright” workshop with practicing attorney-at-law and author W.D. Drames on Wednesday, July 29th at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT. $10 for PI Members/$20 for non-members. Live presentation will be recorded. Whether you’re self-published or working with a traditional imprint, not knowing author business best practices or your intellectual property rights means moving to the Wild West without a gun. Don’t depend on the kindness of strangers. Arm yourself with the wisdom needed to persevere in this challenging business. In this workshop you will learn:

• Practical steps to protect your author business from charlatans, imposters, and rapacious publishers;
• The easy (and cheap) versus hard (and probably too expensive) ways to win; and
• Steps to protect your intellectual property rights including how to Trademark your pen name with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on your own.

W.D. Drames is an attorney and author based in Washington, DC who has handled a wide variety of domestic and international business transactions and intellectual property matters. When not writing steamy love stories, W.D. enjoys world travel, the outdoors, opera, musical theater, and exchanging gossip in elegant dining establishments.
