As a freelance writer, you may need similar business insurance protections to those running their own limited companies, especially since you’re financially responsible if things go wrong.
Public liability insurance is a good option if you interact with others in shared spaces, such as working in a local café. Without this cover, you might have to personally cover legal fees or compensation costs if someone is injured or their property is damaged due to your work activities.
Additionally, personal accident insurance can be particularly useful for freelance writers. It provides financial support if you’re unable to work due to an accident.
Book authors may require insurance to protect against various business risks, including the possibility of being held liable if a member of the public suffers an illness or injury.
Public liability insurance is particularly relevant for authors who participate in events such as meet-and-greets, speaking engagements, or book signings. This cover can help with the financial burden of legal fees or compensation claims if someone is injured during these events.
For self-published authors who print or sell their books directly, product liability insurance can be a wise addition. This cover can protect you if someone claims your product caused injury or property damage For example, if a children’s book you created had a sharp edge that caused harm.
Having the right insurance ensures you’re prepared for unexpected situations while focusing on your writing career.
