I’d love a video on Black Falcon Press and your goals related to it or your influence for creating it. Is it an avenue for helping put out your own material (since it is a business does this make taxes easier for you as an author?) or is it avenue you intend to use to help other authors down the line? Super interested!
Thanks for the Video clip! Sorry for the intrusion, I would love your thoughts. Have you thought about - Proutklarton Winner System Plan (google it)? It is a smashing exclusive product for discovering how to write publish and sell your ebook in 7 days minus the normal expense. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my m8 at very last got great success with it.
Amazing as always Queen! Very helpful too. I’m so close to finishing the book I’m writing!! I didn’t know how to do the copyright page so this helps so much!
Thank you for the explanation! It is a very helpful video. One question is what if I haven't published information? Should I put my address or ? I wanted to try an ebookstore .
Thanks for sharing the link to the copyright templates! If someone has purchased their own ISBN number, can they leave out the address part? I'll be publishing through KDP, but I don't want to use their free ISBN.
Ijeoma Nwaogu Honestly, as soon as you have a tangible manuscript, you should. I did before I ran it through the editors. If you plan to make major changes like a chapter? Wait. A few words? Don’t worry, it’s still protected! Good luck :)
where do you put copyright for a journal or workbook? Is that also in the front or does it go at the back of the journal? I have seen both, which is preferable.
Hi Kristin! I’ve been enjoying your videos so much! Thanks for all the great content and advice presented in such a positive and intelligent manner. It’s greatly appreciated! I’m curious how you get a Library of Congress control number. Is that something you need to apply for?
Thank you for the Video and providing an insight on Copyright. How do we write a copyright page for books published on Amazon.com? Do you have a sample?
So you have to send in your manuscript BEFORE you write the copyright page right? Cuz otherwise how would you write what year it was copyrighted in and etc. ??? Trying to figure out if I need to write this before submitting my manuscript for Copyright.
Hi Kristen..I wrote a book in english and i intend to sell it on amazon..but I am not from the USA and my mother tongue is not english....it's an odd intersection.. today I started to read more about filling a copyrights claim and I can't seem to get a hold of it for my case. Do you have any idea where foreign writers could research this further?
Thank you for tackling not so fun topics that definitely need someone to walk us through them! Copyright pages are something I was foreign to, but not so much anymore! Glad you had fun at Harry Potter World!
I want to self-publish a novella, but I am confused. Do I have to pay money in order to copy-and-paste the Copyright page? Or can I do so regardless? I don't want to get into trouble for copying something I am not supposed to, which doesn't really make sense since I already own all the rights.
Hi ma’am , thanks for the video, I have a query , what if I create designs for low/no content books from Canva which are licence free and once I publish, can anyone else copy my design and get their product trademarked or copyrighted ? Should I get my book copyrighted or trademarked? Can you please advice for situation like this?
Mrs. Kristin I self published my first novel on Amazon and it has a copyrighted material label on it. Is this for my copy right or did I do something wrong?
Hey Kristen, I love your videos because I find them really very helpful! And I had a question which is not related to this video.. Do all the chapters of a book should be of the same length?
In case no one else replies, nope! It's up to the author what length every chapter will be. It varies person by person. Find out what you like as a reader and what is appropriate for the kind of book that you're writing. You /could/ make every chapter the same length, but again, it depends on the pacing of the book that you want. Shorter chapters go with fast-paced books, while longer chapters go in more literary books, generally. Not all the time, though.
I'm uploading to KDP. How am I going to know my ISBN if it's getting assigned to me when I publish? Also, if I'm quoting people (obviously crediting them) am I still able to claim copyright?
@Emunah13819 wrote, “Also, if I'm quoting people (obviously crediting them) am I still able to claim copyright?” Yes. You’ll likely have to register your ebook via the US Copyright Office’s (USCO) $65 on-line “Standard Application.” In the “Limitation of Claim” section of the on-line copyright registration application, you can identify/list those works you didn’t create. You only need to provide a short description, like “third-party quoted words” or something similar. In addition, you can send the USCO (the Registration Specialist who will review your application) a note (“Note to Copyright Office (Optional)” section) explaining what third-party contributions you’re disclaiming or other issues affecting your registration. You’re limited to about 1995 letters & characters in that section, so you’ll have to keep it short.
Hello there :) Thanks for the video as I'm getting ready to publish but there is so much research. Not really convinced I need to copyright it. So my question is: As this video is 5 years old, is this information still valid?

i've been watching your videos for a couple days now and i have to say, they're very helpful and i've learned a lot about self publishing
Happy Monday!! Hahaha glad I'm watching this on a Monday.
Hi Kristen! I was wondering if you have any videos about how to copyright a novel? Thanks💕
I think Kristen had one too many Butterbeers at Wizarding world of Harry Potter!
Awesome and timely video.....especially during Nanowrimo. Thanks!
Thank you for the explanation! It is a very helpful video. One question is what if I haven't published information? Should I put my address or ? I wanted to try an ebookstore .
This was VERY helpful! Thank you!
Thank you.
Wonderful video. Thanks for your compromise and hard work to us, the novel writers.
Good stuff. Thanks for sharing. Does Black Falcon Press publish books of poetry by Texas poets?
OMG, the bloopers at the end! XD Those are exactly my feelings when I record vlogs too. lol Loved this video and all the links!
This was extremely helpful! Thank you so much!!
Thanks for sharing the link to the copyright templates! If someone has purchased their own ISBN number, can they leave out the address part? I'll be publishing through KDP, but I don't want to use their free ISBN.
at what phase in book development should one get a copyright registered?
Ijeoma Nwaogu Honestly, as soon as you have a tangible manuscript, you should. I did before I ran it through the editors. If you plan to make major changes like a chapter? Wait. A few words? Don’t worry, it’s still protected! Good luck :)
Hello, I have a question. I finished my journal but I have scriptures out of the Bible in my journal. Do I need to include them on the copyright page?
where do you put copyright for a journal or workbook? Is that also in the front or does it go at the back of the journal? I have seen both, which is preferable.

If you are self publishing with Barnes and noble press would I included Barnes and noble as the publishing company or me?
So you have to send in your manuscript BEFORE you write the copyright page right? Cuz otherwise how would you write what year it was copyrighted in and etc. ??? Trying to figure out if I need to write this before submitting my manuscript for Copyright.
So helpful! Thank you!
A few years ago I believe I created an ISBN for my novel, but now I have no idea what that number is or how to find it, can you help???

Thanks for another great video Kristen. Love the bloopers :-D

“Hot mess express” LMFAO 💀
