CopyrightsContrary to popular belief, officially registering your material is not required in order for it to be protected. The current Copyright laws protect your work as soon as you write it, with no actions required. Providing the notice that a work is Copyrighted is also not required, since any published work must be assumed to already be Copyrighted and thereby protected. If you're holding out any hope to have your work published by a regular publishing house, officially registering your Copyright before mailing off the manuscript could potentially kill your deal before it's even offered. Let the publisher handle the Copyright issues once it reaches that step. If you're certain you're self-publishing, you're already covered without having to do anything at all.Copyright Information Resources |
