BOOKS
Creating informational resources is my jam.
My books about legal and business processes and systems aim to help folks understand how to navigate these waters and push forward their entrepreneurial, social or creative ventures.
On this page you’ll find info and purchase links for my hard-copy books, all published by Nolo.
Books
I have had a long relationship writing and editing books and other content for Nolo, a Berkeley-based publisher of do-it-yourself legal books and software. I’ve published four books with Nolo, all focusing on small business and nonprofit start-up and management. I update each of my books every other year to keep the legal information current, so maintaining my books is a large part of my self-employed life.
I don’t sell my Nolo books directly, but each title at the right has links to purchase at Amazon or through IndieBound, which connects you to your local, independent bookstore.
