Creating a Career You Love with Sacha Black

Michael La Ronn

In this month's AskALLi Member Q&amp;A with Michael La Ronn and Sacha Black: young author problems. What are the legal ramifications of my seven-year-old granddaughter authoring a book and I'm one of the co-authors? Other questions include:  If I interview other authors in my book, who owns the copyright to their responses? Where can I get help with marketing and cover design? Does my author website need a privacy policy? Is there a limit to how many times a work can appear on Amazon (in anthologies, standalone, etc.)? When is the best time to promote a series—when the first book is done, or when more books are finished?  And more!
