So after reading up on how to get a copyright and talking with my co-worker about it, I finally did it. I decided what the heck. I applied for a copyright on my book.
It was not a difficult process, but lots of screens of data to fill out and questions to answer. Once you load all the info, you have to make the one time, non-refundable payment of $35.00. You do this BEFORE you load the item to be copyrighted. They want to make sure they get your money first I guess.
