Writers and Independent Publishers

Hrbek Law represents novelists, screenplay writers, playwrights, non-fiction writers, journalists and other writers in the legal aspects of their careers.  We advise the independent publishing companies who are stepping into the shoes of major publishing houses and helping writers distribute their work across media platforms.

Content is king in the new digital world order.  A story can be told in a book, in a game, in a movie, in a song ... the possibilities are endless, and the opportunities abound.

We review, draft and help negotiate:

• Book Contracts
• Publishing Agreements
• Merchandizing Deals
• Digital and Multimedia Distribution Deals
• Literary Agent Contracts
• Adaptation Agreements
• Option / Literary Purchase Agreements
• Ghostwriter Agreements

We advise on:

• Privacy Rights
• Defamation
• Life Story Rights
• Negligence
• Freedom of Speech
• Legal Aspects of Submissions
• Misappropriation
• Self-Publishing & E-Book Publishing
• Corporate Entities for Writers
