What does it mean to have copyright protection? Copyright protection helps authors (and other creatives and businesses) protect their creations from other people stealing their work. We talk about the true ways authors need to copyright their book to guarantee they can receive the proper protections for their book no and in the future.

Copyright is something many first-time authors do not understand. Many believe that simply writing your book provides you protection. Others believe mailing yourself a copy of your manuscript secures a copyright. We take a look at what copyright is and why authors need to register their book with the proper authorities to lock in the protections they need.
