FAQs for Copyright Notice and Book Page Formatting

  • What copyright notice goes in front of the book?

    Your book should include a standard copyright notice, usually on the page immediately following the title page. Example:

    © 2025 Jane Doe. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced or distributed in any form whatsoever without prior written permission.

  • Is a copyright page legally required?

    While not always legally required, a well-crafted copyright page significantly strengthens your claim of ownership and ensures legal compliance under American copyright law.

  • What’s the difference between a copyright notice and a rights reserved notice?

    A copyright notice claims ownership of the content. A rights reserved notice details how others may (or may not) use your content. We include both in every page we design.

  • Do self-published books need copyright pages?

    Absolutely. In fact, self-published authors are at a higher risk of having their work misused. A comprehensive copyright page gives your book the legal shield it needs.
