Caridad Pineiro is the author of nearly 40 published works and also a partner in a Manhattan law firm specializing in Intellectual Property. Caridad will offer information on what authors should know about publishing contracts, copyrights, trademarks and the terms of service on some of the more popular social media sites.

Please note that this workshop is not intended as legal advice, but rather an overview of what writers should look for and understand so they may ask the right questions when the call comes. Please always consult an attorney or your agent before entering into any kind of contract.

Bio: New York Times and USA Today bestselling author and RITA® Finalist Caridad Pineiro wrote her first novel in the fifth grade when her teacher assigned a project – to write a book for a class lending library. Bitten by the writing bug, Caridad continued with her passion for the written word and in 1999, Caridad’s first novel was released. Over a decade later, Caridad is the author of nearly 40 published novels and novellas. When not writing, Caridad is an attorney, wife, and mother to an aspiring writer and fashionista.
