Rhonda (Hogan)Lowry
Copyrights, Permissions,
Cataloging-in-Publication Data,
Photograph and Story Research
Rhonda is
a twenty-two-year publishing professional, specializing in the legalities
of researching, negotiating, and contracting permissions for
high-profile authors and publishers. Her expertise includes content,
photo, and cartoon research, as well as book compilation, online
applications for copyrights and Cataloging-in-Publication data, and
seeking and securing endorsements.
Rhonda's clients include such authors as
Max Lucado, Charles Swindoll, Billy Graham, Pat Robertson, Women of
Faith, actress Janine Turner, and many others. Rhonda is considered a guru of
publishing legalities.
Authors think the hard part is writing the book, but
obtaining rights and permissions is often just as difficult. Permissions require
excellence in a million details, legal and otherwise, along with a good dose of
abilities in negotiation and strategic compromise. It's a necessary evil of
book publishing. Authors hate it. Editors loathe it. And so someone like Rhonda, who brings to it not only excellence and experience, but also enthusiasm, is a
godsend. Time and again she has not only procured that most necessary but
difficult-to-obtain permission, but has done it at a fraction of expected cost.
So many best-selling books have been in her hands, and she has always done such
a marvelous job with each one of them. She achieves great results, is personable, and a real expert. I would hire her again in a second for
any project.
