This video was so incredibly helpful. I'm 17 and strongly looking into self-publishing the novel I've been working on for two years, thanks to having heard a thousand different horror stories from some acquaintances who published their books traditionally. Like you said, no one does it perfectly their first time, but I am really trying to explore my options and find out what would work best for me. As a teenager who has no idea where to start, this video pointed out some things I hadn't even considered. Thank you. Now, I'm off to binge your videos.

@keanureeves1451 4 года назад

Can you go into the nitty gritty details of self publishing, such what exactly to send in a manuscript to the copyright office especially when you are dealing with a cover designer...and how to format like a pro?

@InsteadofWriting 4 года назад

You're right on with the copyright. As for the non-registration vs registration distinction, as of a recent Supreme Court case, you can actually no longer file a copyright lawsuit until you've registered the work with the copyright office. Saw a few cases get thrown out this year because of that ruling. But, it's a procedure thing. You don't have to have the work registered at the time it gets infringed, but before you take your case to the court, you'll have to get around to registering it, anyway. So you might as well up front. Plus! When you register your copyrighted work completely changes what types of compensation you can get in court if someone copies your stuff. If they infringe a registered copyrighted work, the copyright holder can go after them for up to $150,000 per infringed work in court. If they infringe when your work isn't registered, then you register it so you can sue them, your damages are limited to pretty much what it would have cost them to pay you to license your work for their purpose. All that aside, there's some movement right now at Congress for more options for smaller artists to enforce their copyright, because the average cost of a copyright lawsuit is upwards of $250k. Yikes.

@NataliaLeigh 4 года назад

Instead of Writing Thank you so much for sharing all that information! It’s incredibly helpful and makes me glad that I decided to officially register with the copyright office 👍🏻

@pauligrossinoz 2 года назад

This is a special case for the United States only. Here in Australia there is no formal copyright registration system. The copyright owner has full rights immediately and automatically when they create anything, and this is also the way it is in the rest of the developed world. If the US wishes to fix their silly copyright system, all they have to do is _remove_ the requirement to register copyright, and it's done and dusted. Also, the International Copyright Treaty means that somebody in the US violating the copyright of an Australian citizen automatically gets Australian law applied, which becomes very painful - financially - for that idiot because our courts take a very dim view of copyright violations.

@TexanUSMC8089 Год назад

@@pauligrossinoz The US Copyright system isn't all bad. It's like insurance. When something is filed and officially copyrighted, you have proof and a date. Otherwise, you can have two people right a similar song, but how do you prove who was first and who copied? This way, we have an official documented event that's filed and registered. I can write a song without copyright by mailing a copy to myself and not opening the package. Then it's officially dated by the post office. It's not as strong in court, but it's better than nothing. If you don't copyright your work in Australia, how do you prove the date it was written? Our system doesn't sound so silly to me.

@pauligrossinoz Год назад

@@TexanUSMC8089 - in the rest of the world, not just Australia, you can simply produce your own dated copies of the earlier revisions. And today, electronic versions are valid in a court. You don't need to post any hard-copies anymore. Server logs can be accessed as necessary. The actual author of the book will be constantly producing new revisions to their manuscripts and sending them to people for review, not the plagiarist, so it's a simple matter for the judge to decide who is lying. No judge is going to believe that a completed, polished manuscript materialised in the first revision. It's basically not ever been a real problem for authors. And the best part is that by International Treaty, any copyright cases are decided in the author's jurisdiction, so if a US person decides to try to steal my manuscript(!), the Australian Judge will make the decision. And obviously they will decide in my favour, because I've already emailed heaps of people my revisions so far. The US system takes a non-issue for authors, and turns it into a barrier with a price tag. It's worse than pointless.

All works are automatically copywritin without registration. Copywrite just allows you to be very specific about what is protected such as character names and titles.

@harveythepooka 4 года назад

Your cover is exquisite. I went to 8 little pages to check them out because I liked it so much and they'd gone out of business. I'm not shocked with how badly they treated you. It sounds like with Pistol Daisy you'll be spending a lot less money and hopefully your profits will be a lot higher! You have to sell a lot of books to even break even at $2800, plus ads etc. Good luck with your new book.

@charlie.cummings 4 года назад

As far as I'm aware, using free KDP ISBN means that Amazon is the publishing house rather than (e.g.) Enchanted Ink, or our own publishing house/LLC. I also know/as far as I'm aware in the UK at least (don't quote me if I'm wrong 🙈) you have to register (when you copyright, pre-publication) your book with 5 different places - Book Depository* British Library Library of Congress (Other 2 I cannot remember off the top of my head). *Only 1 that's mandatory, the other 4 are good to have.

@ApostleMan222 2 года назад

Thank you for this. I received an offer for publishing from a company based out of the UK (I live state-side) and this confirmed for me that the prices they pitched me, along with the equity split they brought, were hugely unfavorable to me. I would actually go ahead and describe them as downright predatory. Best of luck to you with your future books as well.

@bone9jdjkaye 2 года назад

It is totally predatory. Run away from any publisher that charges you even £1 to publish a book. They are usually vanity publishers, and don't care about you or your work so will charge a fortune and then not do much for marketing - it is better to self-publish. Traditional publishers will pay you money, rather than you paying then. money should always flow from the publisher to you, not from you to them

I find copyright the most confusing thing ever haha I'm pretty sure you're right in the fact that everything you write is copywritten. I'm pretty sure you have to email/mail it to yourself to give it a "timestamp" so to speak. But if you ever want to bring someone to court, you'll have an easier time winning your case if you filed for copyright and paid for it. On my bucket list is to just talk to a legit lawyer about it and really find out whether or not it's worth it to pay.

Who did you go with for your book cover artists this time around? Also, why did you not decide to use KDP?

Hello! I just found your channel! Thanks for this video. I was wondering if you made the money back on your book that you put into it to self-publish? Thank you.

Yes, why get your own isbn? Does kindle have some sort of hold over you with their ISBN>

Okay, I must know why I should purchase my own ISBN when publishing on KDP and how that works?

What website did you go to for copyrighting your book? My other question is did you choose matte or glossy?

Did I understand you correctly about your fees for copyediting? I think you mentioned that one factor in determining cost is how much editing has to be done. In other words, if a writer's work needs fewer edits your fee is lower? Please clarify, and thanks for the videos.
