Welcome to Michael Ireland's blog. Please note that the information in this blog is this editor’s opinion only. I do not warrant as factual or accurate any topic covered in this blog, nor do I prescribe or recommend any technique for editing or any self-publishing strategy. It is my intent to offer information of general nature only for educational purposes and interest. In the event you or others use any of the information or other content shared in this blog, this author, my publisher, and any and all members of our organization assume no responsibility for the direct or indirect consequences. All readers must consult professionals in the publishing industry and their legal counsel, before adopting any of the suggestions in this blog or drawing inferences from it. All use of the information shared in this blog is at your own risk. Please read the notices below before continuing. Thank you.

NOTICE TO THE READER:

I have endeavored to make the information in this blog as current as possible but it is impossible to be certain that all of the information provided is up to date. The publishing industry is in a continual state of change and growth, and processes and procedures vary from professional to professional and from company to company. Additionally, the laws related to publishing vary from country to country and specific situations may involve unusual laws or considerations which are not found on this blog. Therefore, the reader must be cautious not to rely upon the information contained herein and must always check with their lawyers before taking any action of consequence. We do not accept responsibility for exact legal accuracy of the information included here. I am presenting general education information for authors. I am not rendering legal or other professional advice. By reading this blog, you acknowledge you have read and understood this Notice to Reader and that you have read and agreed to the Copyright Notice below. For any specific legal problem, the reader must obtain competent professional legal advice, as soon as possible.

COPYRIGHT NOTICE:

In my blog, I have attempted to expose you to a wide variety of concepts to help you understand many of the complexities of the editing and self-publishing processes. I hope this information will help you to move forward on your publishing journey with awareness, insight and mindfulness of some of the practicalities of the publishing world. One of the laws you must be mindful of on your publishing journey is the law of copyright. The laws of copyright were created in the 1800’s in England (the Statute of Anne, actually) to compensate creators for their work by preventing others from using “the work” without paying for it. At the time, no one ever imagined how easy it would become to “make a copy” or even several thousand copies with the push of a button. This blog is subject to those same laws of copyright and you can be of immeasurable assistance by refraining from reproducing it, in whole or in part, in any format, without our advance written permission. If you would like to reproduce the material here, please use the contact form on this website to contact the author.

Thank you.

Namaste,

Michael Ireland
