These are the questions Manning will cuss and discuss. She'll also provide information on copyright, use of photos, ISBN's, tax obligations, and more. Lots of handouts will be given to allow a more in-depth study, and as a reminder of the tips she gives in her talk. Don't get caught with your proverbial pants down!
