I am reading your "How to ...I have a question:<br />I am reading your "How to land plus bonus material" You are preaching to the choir in my case and I thank you for the validation and your generosity for making this information available. As a singer song writer who was signed to WEA Elektra in the 80's I can say that much of what you present is similar to the music business and 100% of it is true.<br />Here is my question- (I have not read the entire doc yet- so forgive me if you answer this in it) I love the idea of serializing and making ones work available, sharing and getting it out there. Here is my concern- I recorded two albums. The internet sells three. The third is every private demo that I made for record company executives. With the way the internet is, pirating books is a piece of cake. I am concerned in this climate that putting work that I am planning to pitch out there will diminish potential sales to the point where publishers will feel that the value of my intellectual property has been compromised. This is a big subject. Right now I am prepping my first novel - a SciFi- to be pitched. Trust me- I am going to every length to make sure it is a polished finished product before I even crack open the door and talk to the industry. Could you talk a little about how to protect ones work from piracy before it is pitched and how the industry views this? Thanx again. best SAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08605481246706196989noreply@blogger.com
