Learn how ISBN, Copyright and Self Publishing a Book Work


There are a few things you should know before self-publishing a book, such as ISBNs, copyrights. An ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is a unique identifier for a book. You need one to sell your book through most retail channels, and it helps libraries catalog your book as well.

A copyright is a legal protection that gives an author the sole right to reproduce and distribute their work. You can register your copyright with the US Copyright Office or your local government copyright office. Finally, before you publish your book, you should understand how self-publishing works.

There are a few different ways to self-publish, and each has its own set of pros and cons. Do your research to figure out which option is best for you and your book. In this newsletter, you will learn more about ISBN and how we are helping independent authors.
