Fair Use for Non-Fiction Authors

May 27 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm

 

This workshop is designed for nonfiction authors of all types — including historians, biographers, scientists, and scholars of literature, theatre, art, and music — who want to know more about using copyrighted materials. The workshop will help researchers who want to do things such as:

 

– Include song lyrics in a paper discussing musical trends

– Quote from a novel to analyze the author’s use of metaphors in a work of literary criticism

– Incorporate a photograph in an article about the photographer’s use of light and shadow

– Use a chart in a scientific paper critiquing a researcher’s methodology and findings

– Quote from unpublished letters in a biography or memoir

 

Join us to review principles and limitations of fair use for common situations nonfiction authors face when incorporating copyrighted works into their writings.
