Calling all Wolverines and Michiganders!
Join Authors Alliance as we team up with the University of Michigan Library and the U-M Institute for the Humanities to present a panel discussion and workshops on “Preserving Your Creative & Intellectual Legacy.” This is the first in a series of workshops scheduled around the country throughout the fall and spring to provide hands-on expertise and assistance to authors. The event will feature a panel discussion followed by workshops designed to help creators both make and keep their works accessible to a wide audience, now and in the future.
Panelists include a range of University of Michigan faculty, independent authors, and legal experts:
- Paul Courant, Harold T. Shapiro Collegiate Professor Public Policy
- Don Herzog, Edson R. Sunderland Professor of Law
- James Hilton, University Librarian and Dean of Libraries, and Vice Provost for Digital Education and Innovation
- Melissa Levine, U-M Library Lead Copyright Officer
- Jessica Litman, John F. Nickoll Professor of Law
- Robert James Russell, author and founding co-editor of the literary journal Midwestern Gothic
- Sidonie Smith, Mary Fair Croushore Professor of the Humanities and Director of the Institute for the Humanities
- Jennifer Traig, author of Devil in the Details: Scenes from an Obsessive Girlhood and other books
- Molly Shaffer Van Houweling, UC Berkeley Professor of Law and member of the Authors Alliance Board of Directors
- Michael Wolfe, Executive Director of Authors Alliance
The event is free and open to the public. Registration is encouraged but not required. More information can be found at authorsalliance.org/michigan.
