Copyright Help

The author (or publisher) is responsible for obtaining a copyright for their work (not the editor). You don’t have to file for a copyright with the Copyright Office, but I recommend you do. Technically, your work is protected once you create it. But if it were to get stolen or pirated, your only recourse would be through the Copyright registration process.

Here is a website to access information and fees from the Copyright Office:  http://www.copyright.gov
