When to Copyright?

The copyright office actually prefers that they do not receive a copy of your book for copyright until after the book is published. When a book goes to print, there is always a statement on the “copyright page” that says you own the copyright, and in what year the copyright was applied for. But, when the book goes to print, that copyright normally has not yet been issued by the copyright office. The mere fact that the book says the copyright has been applied for protects the author.
When your books (they ask for two copies) do go to the copyright office, the copyright will be assigned in your name. Here at CSN Books and Legacy Line publishing we believe that since you are the author, you are the one who should own all the rights to your work. We do not contractually tie up your work for five or ten years as many publishers do, nor do we force you to buy your way out of our agreement. Your entire work is under your control; we believe you deserve both the profits and the control.
Finally, here is a very important fact: the CSN Books and Legacy Line publishing team are in our third decade in the publishing industry. In that time, we have never seen a case where someone tried to steal and print the work of another.
The reason?
It is far too easy to prove who wrote the book, and it is far too difficult to market a winning product. Why would a publisher risk trying to market a book that they were not authorized to publish? It makes absolutely no economic or moral sense.
