Where is the best place to go to get my book coppywritten?

Question

I recently finished writting a book. I was told i had to go to a copywriter. I live in Staten Island New York. Where do i go?

Answer 1

the second you put your first words on paper you were copyrighted, but to protect that work you need to have it registered.

You mail a copy of your manuscript to the address given in the Governments site: http://www.copyright.gov

there you will find out all you ever wanted to know about copyrights. You will have to download a form and fill it out. That form attests to the fact that you are the original and only owner of the property, and the title of the property.

several months after submitting your work, you will recieve a paper confirming the copyright.

There is a fee. I believe it went up to $40 or $45 dollars as of last year. And if you make any significant changes to the manuscript you will need to resubmit the manuscript to update it (I think there is an additional fee for that, not sure).

Answer 2

Somebody is giving you poor information. A "copywriter" is someone who works for a newspaper, and writes the "copy" of a story from facts put together by someone else. To copyright (note the spelling) your own work, simply sign the manuscript. You don't have to go anywhere. Your written work is subject to copyright laws as soon as it is put in tangible form. You can get registered protection for it, but it isn't strictly necessary. Read this:
