Protecting Your Work!

I learned early on that I had to protect my work, because of the genre I was writing. I contacted a literary attorney and for me, it’s what I needed to do, but it might not be the right choice for everyone. Due to cost, hiring a literary attorney may not be feasible. The first thing I was advised to do was to copyright my work, especially before sending it out to anyone not in my inner circle. By copyrighting your work beforehand, it gives you piece of mind, protects you in the process and it’s not very expensive. This is a link to the copyright office https://www.copyright.gov/ to help get you started, and if you have further questions, seek a literary attorney for more assistance.
