Living in Los Angeles, most of the screenwriters are here seeking to make it big in Hollywood. We all want our screen plays and scripts to get picked up. Many screenwriters come to Los Angeles without understanding and knowing their legal rights when it comes to the scripts, books, and other works of art.
Many assume that joining the Writers Guild of America will be enough to protect their intellectual property rights and the contents that they write for television shows, movies, news programs, animation, and documentaries but that is not the case. When it comes time to negotiating your deals with the studios, directors and producers for your engagement, you need to make sure that you get the best terms possible and not lose your rights for future work and technologies.
This is why it is important to work with a screenwriter attorney who is familiar with representing an author and screenwriter with an emphasis on protecting your characters, plots, stories and theme that can someday become blockbuster hits.
