US Copyright Law & Fair Use:

How to Protect Your Work & Avoid Legal Challenges

Dr. Bart Dahmer, Founder & CEO 

Hello, I'm Bart Dahmer, a Christ-follower, a husband, a father, a Gideon, and a deacon at my local church. I'm also the founder and CEO of Innovo Publishing LLC, and The Christian Publishing Portal.

I've been privileged to have helped prepare, package, and publish more than a thousand Christian novels, textbooks, children's books, specialty books, music albums, screenplays, and online courses. I've worked with clients in nearly all 50 US States and several countries in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Collectively, through my companies, I've helped market and sell tens of thousands of these Christian tiles globally.  This is my calling, and I love coming along side authors, artists, and ministries to help them get their publications into the hands of those who need them. In this course, I'll help you understand how to protect your work and avoid legal trouble with US Copyright Law & Fair Use.

Learn from a fellow believer, called to Christian publishing

I believe all the education and work experiences the Lord provided for me while working in leadership roles for a Fortune 50 company were to prepare me to do this work. Helping fellow believers get the Word out for Christ through Christian publishing is my calling. I love doing this work, and look forward to helping you.

Learn from a fellow Christian author whose walked the road

I've learned and personally applied every aspect preparing, publishing, marketing & selling a Christian book. It wasn't a chore for me--it was a joy. In fact, I did all of these things with my own Christian novel first. Now with over a thousand titles under my belt, I'm a little wiser and better able to help you avoid many of the common mistakes I made and apply best practices from the start.
