Whether you’re going the traditional publishing route or publishing your own novel, nonfiction book, or poetry collection, it pays to do your research.

It kind of goes without saying that this isn’t a comprehensive list–it’s just getting started–but these online resources for traditional and self-publishing authors are worth checking out:

The Publishing Law Center, from attorney-publisher Lloyd Rich

www.copylaw.com, from Lloyd J. Jassin, author of The Copyright Permission and Libel Handbook

Articles for Writers and Publishers from Ivan Hoffman, Attorney at Law

Preparing Your Book Proposal or Manuscript for Submission,” by Marcia Yudkin

Agents and Other Representation, an alphabetical listing and tips for approaching representation from Preditors & Editors
