About this listen
How to Get Published and Deal with Copyrights, Clients, Co-Writing, and Contracts covers a range of topics for both full-time and part-time writers - from finding publishers and agents and getting published to being successful as a freelancer. It is a continuation of the previously published book: How to Find Publishers and Agents and Get Published.
It is divided into the following sections:
- The steps to finding publishers and agents and self-publishing
- Getting a copyright and dealing with piracy
- Freelancing successfully
- Working out co-writing arrangements
- Entering into contracts with publishers and agents
- What to include in ghostwriter and co-writer contracts
The book has been developed from blogs on these subjects on Publishers Agents and Films (www.publishersagentsandfilms.com), and it is used in a workshop series on these topics.
The author, Gini Graham Scott, PhD, has published over 50 books with major publishers on numerous topics, and has published an additional 40 books through her own company Changemakers Publishing. She is a frequent speaker on finding publishers and agents and self-publishing, as well as on the subjects featured in her books.

If you’re a forward-focused thinker, you may be dreaming about leaving the workforce to enjoy an easier life in retirement or you might even be considering retiring early. But a dream without a plan is just a wish. Passive income is money you earn in a way that requires little to no daily effort to maintain. Some passive income ideas - like renting out property or building a blog - may take some work to get up and running, but they could eventually earn you money while you sleep.

It’s as comfortable and familiar as a pair of old shoes and yet still glittery and exciting. But what do you really know about it? It’s stuffed full of traditions and rituals that most of us have been observing all our lives without having the slightest idea of where they come from.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.
