Don’t Give Away Writing to Win Work By Deborah Jeanne Sergeant
People using the Internet to hire a writer often feel reluctant paying a stranger in a remote location for work, but you should not have to submit something on spec that you cannot possibly sell elsewhere. What’s a writer to do?
Do I Need to Copyright My Short Stories Individually? Nope!
