So, you've decided you want to publish your own D(ead) T(ree) Books. I mean, paper books not ebooks.
Yes, you're going to sell them through Amazon, but you want to be the publisher of record. You're planning to start your own publishing company to do this. There are a few rules you'll need to follow before you start to market your book(s).
Here are five resources to help you get started before and during the process of getting your book(s) to the Amazon store.
1. U.S. Copyright Office has all the rules and regulations for registering a copyright. Remember, before you can pursue a copyright infringement you must have a registered copyright.
2. U.S. ISBN Agency is the official site to purchase ISBNs for your books. (When you see the cost of ISBNs, you'll be doing more than one book.)
3. Electronic CIP: Cataloging in Publication Program is the Library of Congress's pre-publication program allowing publishers to electronically submit their material for catalogueing for libraries.
4. Copyright Page Samples You Can Copy and Paste Into Your Book.
5. Copyright Symbol Webpage. Scroll down the page for keyboard instructions to place your own copyright symbol on your work.
Uhmmm. Have you changed your mind and decided to go the ebook route, now?
