Landolt & Associates Law Firm practices in the area of Entertainment Law,
including Literary Representation. We represent 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.
ATTORNEY FEES OVERVIEW
We cannot provide free consultations for literary clients. We charge on a flat fee
or hourly rate only. We do not offer any Entertainment Law (including Literary)
services on a commission or contingency basis. You will be notified
of any charges in advance. Literary queries and requested manuscripts and
proposals are reviewed by us at no charge when we are considering them for
representation. Please contact us if you have questions regarding fees.
No unsolicited manuscripts accepted.
We do not perform agenting for new authors UNLESS there is a legal matter
involved for which we are representing you.
LEGAL SERVICES AND CAREER ADVICE 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. We consider representing self-published authors on a
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.
