Katie Lane: The "Work Made For Hire" blog

There's a new site you're going to want to bookmark. Work Made For Hire is the Web presence of Katie Lane, a lawyer who specializes in comic artists and other creative professionals. From the site:

Katie Lane is a nerd.

She’s also an attorney, obsessed with negotiation, a former actress, a current writer, and a forever student. She is passionate about helping other people learn how to negotiate because someone once told her she couldn’t do it. They were wrong.

Katie graduated from law school long enough ago that there was a reunion and she missed it.  She’s advised librarians, comedians, ruffians and a gentleman with some very passionate ideas about revolutionizing televised sport fishing on all matter of legal conundrums.

By day, Katie negotiates for a large company.  At night she transforms into a business counselor to comic artists, authors, designers and vaudeville programs across the country.  She does this because if she ever has children, she wants them to be able to laugh at something other than her.

She provides legal services and private negotiation coaching and teaches negotiation seminars. She would gladly entertain your generally applicable and interesting questions.  You can contact her here.

Katie lives in Portland, Oregon, with her lovely and talented wife Dylan, and a ridiculous number of animals.

You'll know her wife, Dylan, as the new co-writer of PvP. So it's pretty safe to say Kate underdstands the needs of webcartoonists...
