Media Liability Insurance

Hi June,

Great information!

1. I don't have your book yet, Self-employed Tax Solutions. If I purchase edition 2 then I don't need edition 1, right?

How different is this book from the Creative Visual Artist version? I am a freelance B2B Technology Copywriter - Would I want to also or instead look at the Creative version?

2. I currently am a sole proprietor. I am looking for liability insurance. Specifically for copyrighting laws/infringement, blogging, any of the web liability. Does your book cover this type of Insurance? If not can you provide me with a source that I can research?

Thank you for your time.
Deb



Hi Deb,

Glad you like my info. Please tell your indie friends and colleagues . They need as much help as they can get.

This post
Self-employed Tax Solutions 1st Edition explains both editions .

Tax Solutions for Creatives is a CD not a book. Indies tell me the CD is really helpful and that just listening is so easy, not intimidating.

My book explains the different types of insurance. It's basic info. Anyone who presents advice and information to the public faces the potential of having someone misinterpret what is said or written. That presents the possibility of a lawsuit. Sounds as if you are seeking media liability insurance. It's a kind of errors and omissions policy and is hard to find and very expensive with quotes starting at $2,500 for sole proprietors. Please, if you find more information from your insurance agent about this kind of insurance, let me know.

Best,
June
