What is a Copyright Consultation?
A copyright consultation is a tailored legal and publishing strategy session where our expert copyright consultants walk you through the protections your creative work already has—and the additional steps you should take to secure it. You’ll gain practical knowledge of the copyright registration process, how to spot potential copyright infringement, and when you need permission, a written agreement, or formal licensing to avoid future complications.

Identify when your work qualifies for fair use or is part of the public domain

Why Copyright Matters More Than You Think
Many authors assume their work is protected the moment they write it. While that's partially true, the reality is more complex—and riskier. Registering your work, using proper citations, securing permissions, and crafting solid written agreements are all essential steps to prevent legal issues, content theft, or disputes down the line.
Here’s what our copyright law consultation can help you do:
- Avoid unintentional copyright infringement
- Prevent plagiarism-related takedowns on Amazon, YouTube, or other platforms
- Ensure legal ownership in co-author, ghostwriting, or editing arrangements
- Protect your copyrighted work when submitting to agents, contests, or publishers
- Guard against future court claims or demands from third-party content owners
- Understand what’s truly needed to claim your copyright, even in most cases where you think you’re already covered
When your livelihood, reputation, or brand identity is on the line, cutting corners isn’t an option. Protecting your work should be a part of your publishing process from the start.
Our Copyright Consulting Services
When you hire consultants through Masterly Publishing, you're gaining more than just legal help—you’re gaining a creative ally. Our service offerings are built to serve real authors with real-world needs:
Copyright Review and Risk Assessment
We’ll evaluate your copyrighted work, review your publishing goals, and uncover any vulnerabilities—especially if you referenced brand names, or worked with collaborators.
Copyright Registration Process
We'll guide you through registering your work with the Copyright Office, helping you complete the correct forms and understand how to solidify your legal protection in the U.S. and abroad.
Written Agreements and Licensing Help
If you’re using ghostwriters, co-authors, photographers, or designers, we can help you develop or review a written agreement that clearly defines ownership, rights, and royalties.
Contract and Consulting Agreement Review
From consulting copyright agreements to publishing contracts, our team helps you avoid restrictive clauses and protect your rights for future adaptations like audiobooks, merchandise, or film options.
1-on-1 Q&A Sessions

Business and Branding Rights
If your book is part of a broader brand strategy, we offer insights on how to align your copyright, trademark, and business content under one strategic legal umbrella.
When Should You Consult a Copyright Attorney?
If you’re asking any of these questions, now is the right time to seek guidance:
- "Do I need to register my book with the Copyright Office?"
- "Can I legally use a quote, image, or song in my book?"
- "What happens if someone copies my content online?"
- "Do I have the right to sell my work internationally?"
- "Is my contract with my publisher fair and legal?"
- "What if I want to protect my work as both a book and a digital product?"
- "What are my rights if my material is used without permission?"
In most cases, these questions involve overlapping issues with copyright, trademarks, or intellectual property law. Having a copyright attorney consultation early can prevent expensive mistakes later on.
