I've been sitting on the idea of creating a publishing house explicitly so I'm able to protect my literary work. Both present and future.
Although my primary and only focus is on my freelance work that could turn into a full-scale business, I've found that I enjoy writing on my "down time" so to speak. And since I'm writing (and have released) literary works under no copyright, I might as well secure my IP at the very least.
Being an outsider to the writing space, my very first thought was to search online for terms relative to my current goal, but it dawned on me that I don't know the insider language at all. Can I get a few pointers of what I should be searching for? @MTF @MJ DeMarco I know you're both self-published, and it made sense to ask for your input. Any an all pointers are greatly appreciated
I must emphasize again that this is not my focus, but rather my past-time. I do not have any plans regarding making a living through writing, but I also don't want for my work to be abused and monetized by anyone else other than me. On the 40-page long work I've released, I've already had one recommendation to turn it into an audiobook. I've got another project that I wish to write and THAT one I want to monetize, due to its sheer scope and transient demand.
