Representation of authors

Representation of authors refers to how writers and their works are formally acknowledged and protected in legal and professional contexts. It often involves entities like literary agents or publishers who act on the author's behalf—handling negotiations, contracts, and rights management. This ensures the author's interests are safeguarded, their intellectual property is properly managed, and their creative rights are maintained. Essentially, representation helps authors focus on creating while trusted professionals handle the business side, ensuring their work reaches the right audiences and benefits them appropriately.
