Full guidelines are available at the link below; the process depends somewhat on the nature of the text, but most are subsumed under the category of "literary works."

You can do this at the US Copyright Office – see the last 2 links in the source box. The application is fairly simple & the cost is $45 per application.
Despite what others state, a "poor man's" copyright is NOT the same as registering it. Here's what the US Copyright Office has to say:
"The practice of sending a copy of your own work to yourself is sometimes called a 'poor man’s copyright.' There is no provision in the copyright law regarding any such type of protection, and it is not a substitute for registration."
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

If you know where to find the form and the address of where to send it along with a copy of what you are protecting, that's all you need to do. It wouldn't be hard to find the form or the address. You could go to a lawyer and it might only cost you $100.00. The process is no big deal! Good luck!
