I run a small imprint about a niche topic (in fact, I use POD services, so it may not be considered an actual imprint/publisher), but I was approached by an author who is writing a book about an actual crime investigation he is doing (related to fraud).
I think the book would be very interesting and I want to publish it under my imprint -- however, I am a bit scared of the actual legal repercussions.
If he is doing accusations in his books, who would be legally responsible for that? Can I make a contract with the author where he is 100% legally responsible?
