Arbor Books Introduces Plagiarism Protection for Ghostwriting Clients
Arbor Books, a provider of self-publishing, ghostwriting and marketing services, announced that it has entered into a strategic alliance with BeaconOne Insurance to provide comprehensive protection for Arbor Book’s ghostwriting clients against plagiarism.
Arbor Books is the only ghostwriting firm in the United States to offer protection against the growing problem of plagiarism and is also associated with one of the most prestigious publishing law firms in the United States.
This new coverage affords five levels of protection:
1) Editorial review of all manuscripts
2) Systematic, computerized analysis and techniques specifically targeting plagiarism
3) An outside third party to verify the originality of all material
4) Ongoing training and education of writers on rules of plagiarism and other legal issues
5) Insurance coverage in the event of any accusations and lawsuits
“The best way to safeguard yourself against plagiarism is to work with a reputable ghostwriting firm—and not a referral agency or an individual,” says Joel Hochman, co-owner of Arbor Books.
“Hiring a lone ghostwriter on your own leaves you open to plagiarism because there is no supervision,” says Mr. Hochman. “At Arbor Books, we have an expert staff of seasoned editors and managers to provide oversight, as well as other security measures to stop plagiarism.”
Larry Leichman, co-owner of Arbor Books, emphasizes the consequences of plagiarism: “Major lawsuits, financial ruin, a destroyed reputation and a lifetime of stigma are all a part of plagiarism,” he says.
“There are writers who find it more expedient to plagiarize,” says Mr. Leichman. “The media is filled with best-selling authors who have been tainted with accusations of plagiarism.”
A full-service, turnkey publishing company with a staff of 100 writers, designers and publicists, Arbor Books works with mainstream publishing companies, independent publishers and self-publishing authors through the process of manuscript preparation, cover design, illustration, printing, distribution, book marketing and author publicity.
