FILCOLS Huntahan for Women Writers
You were browsing your most favorite magazine. And an article caught your attention. Simply because it was full of your own words written in your own style. There goes your boss’ name as the byline. Then you remember, she asked you to write a research about this topic ages ago. Does she have the right to publish it under her name?
You wrote a book. And you just broke up with your co-author, your emotionally unstable boyfriend. Suddenly he doesn’t want to share anything with you, even the copyright. Can he snatch it away from you?
These questions and more will be answered in FILCOLS Huntahan para sa Manunulat na Kababaihan. It is an informal discussion on writing, publishing, intellectual property and copyright. This session is specially designed for women writers and researchers. It will be held on 28 March 2011 from 1:00-4:00 pm at the Seminar Room, College of Social Work and Community Development, Magsaysay St., UP Diliman, Q.C.
This event aims to encourage working together to address challenges in and outside the academe and to promote women writers’ rights in the country.
There is no registration fee and FILCOLS Huntahan para sa Manunulat na Kababaihan is open to all women writers ONLY.
Pre-registration is required though for the preparation of the participants' certificates and light snacks. Please call, text or email: 7479250 local 401, 0919-3175708 / filcols@gmail.com. After pre-registering, visit filcols.blogspot.com to check if your name is already listed.
