Legal Clarity for Self-Published and Traditionally Published Authors

Whether you're a self-published author or working on a traditionally published book, having a properly structured copyright disclaimer is critical to protecting your work. Under America copyright law, any written material fixed in a tangible medium is automatically protected, but adding your own copyright notice strengthens your legal position and can help prevent misuse. This is especially important if you are sharing your book in any form whatsoever, including as a free download, advanced book review copy, or promotional excerpt.

At Masterly Publishing, we help authors navigate the submission process through the copyright office, clarify requirements around prior written permission, and include proper copyright disclaimers when referencing outside content. Our team ensures that your content cannot be reused or copied—whether in digital or print form—without clear boundaries set forth in your book's legal framework.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • What copyright notice goes in front of a book?

    It usually includes the copyright symbol (©), year of publication, copyright owner’s name, and a rights reserved notice.

  • Where do I place my copyright notice?

    On the copyright page, typically following the title page and before the table of contents.

  • Do I need express written permission to quote others?

    Yes—especially for anything beyond brief quotations. We help prepare your permission requests and permissions coordinator content.

  • Can I use free templates for my copyright page?

    Yes, but we customize them to ensure legal accuracy, especially for those with multiple editions or international standard book numbers (ISBNs).
