: Re: When is a good time to copyright your book? If you're submitting your book to a traditional publisher, when is a good time to copyright your book? Before you give it to the traditional publisher?

Let me share a handy hint with you: assuming you live in a country where the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works is in place, you automatically own a copyright to your novel, assuming that (as stated) it is in a format that is perceptible either directly or with the aid of a machine or device. The only places which are not covered by this convention are in the middle east and some parts of Africa.

The only issue arises when someone has infringed upon your copyright and says that it is their own. The legal procedures behind this are vastly more complex, and subsequently not fit for a writing forum. Go to the legal stack exchange if your are interested.
