If you should pass away, will your books die with you?
Who will manage your books/literary estate if you should pass away?
If your copyright allows you to earn from your book 70-95 years after your death, how can you ensure that your heirs know what to do with your books when you are no longer here?
Fortunately for us, we have resources to help us on the journey and Michael La Ronn (M.L. Ronn) has produced two great, easy-to-read books in plain English that can help us as authors and also our heirs to plan for this eventuality.
The Author Heir Handbook: How to Manage an Author Estate and The Author Estate Handbook: How to Organize Your Affairs and Leave a Legacy are must-have resources for every author. On today’s show Michael tells us his story and how we can get organized and put plans in place for our heirs to manage our author estate when we are no longer here.
Michael La Ronn is an American author of over 80 science fiction & fantasy books and self-help books for writers.
