THE LAW OFFICE OF LISA A. LANDOLT provides legal services, counsel, and
advice in the area of Entertainment Law. Lisa Landolt represents authors, musicians,
actors, artists, and models in the review and negotiation of contracts, in business
transactions, and in an array of related services involving Intellectual Property Law and
management of proprietary information. Below are some examples of the services
provided.
FOR AUTHORS
"HOW DO I GET PUBLISHED?" Contact us to schedule an
Introduction to Publishing Consultation, where we will
cover all of the steps you need to follow to be considered
for publication by a traditional publisher. We will answer
all of your questions, including how to get a legitimate agent,
what agents and publishers are looking for in a manuscript,
how to improve your writing to meet the preferences of agents
and publishers, how to avoid literary scams, what your
intellectual property rights are, contract considerations,
and other legal issues.
AGENTING SERVICES FOR ESTABLISHED AUTHORS
We provide agenting services for established authors on
a flat fee or hourly basis. Contact us for more information.
NOTE TO NEW AUTHORS: We do not provide agenting
services to new authors unless there is a legal issue
involved such as a contract dispute, literary scam, or
intellectual property matter. If you are a new author
looking for agenting services but you don't have a legal
problem, we encourage you to seek out a literary agent who
charges on a commission basis.
SELF-PUBLISHING ASSISTANCE: We receive calls and
emails everyday from people who want to know who the
best self-publishers are and from people who have been
scammed by self-publishers. We always recommend
the traditional publishing route first. But, if you are thinking
of self-publishing, an attorney can advise you on how to
avoid scams and how to get the best deal for you.
As part of your consultation, we are happy to review a
list of the self-publishers we feel most often provide the best
services for your needs with the least likelihood of problems.
SELF-PUBLISHED AUTHORS NOW SEEKING TRADITIONAL
PUBLISHERS: It can be difficult to attain a traditional
publisher for a book that you have already self-published.

case-by-case basis and charge an hourly fee or a
negotiated flat rate. Assistance is also provided to
authors experiencing problems with self-publishers.
Please contact us for more information.
