- This blog covers legal issues for writers. It has a particular focus on how stories and TV shows get legal issues wrong -- but what keeps me coming back is the incredible number of news items that Ms. Ballman manages to pull together in every issue. If you want to know what's happening in the publishing industry, and especially on the legal side of the publishing industry, this site will keep you occupied for hours.
