Synopsis

Chock full of insiders' information, Successful Syndication systematically details how writers and cartoonists can turn dreams of having work syndicated into reality. Tell-all text addresses every aspect of syndication: creating columns, comics, and features most likely to sell; finding a syndication agency; working with people at a syndicate­or setting up self-syndication; marketing through the Internet or direct mail; attracting international sales; pricing; and invoicing. Extensive resource lists are included, as are ample documents and a clause-by-clause review of a syndicated contract by the nation's top syndication lawyer.
