Copyright protection/Prose contest

Writer’s Thought for the Week: Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures. ~ Henry Ward Beecher

The law includes other issues writers with book contracts should be aware of, such as a termination clause that may help some authors escape onerous contracts.
