Amazon's international roll-out has led some writers to thinking about translating their books. Problem is, if you want to get it done right it can cost thousands of dollars.

College of Blogging: Copyright 101 http://sommerleigh.com/archives/4260

Today is an overview of what is and is not copyrighted, what is fair use, creative commons, public domain, etc. Tomorrow I'll be talking specifically about how bloggers use copyright, what they should do when they think someone has taken from their blog, whether blog topics are protected, and deciding what your blog policy is in regards to content use.

How do you create characters? My writing partner and I do it very differently.
