what's the most inexpensive way to get a book copyrighted and publish ? I am trying to do it myself !?

Question

Is it possible to do it without lawyers ?

Answer 1

This place charges $38.

Answer 2

The poor mans copyright is legit or you can send off for a copyright which is 35 dollars and as far as publishing yourself You could do it off your computer and still get a fairly professional look

Answer 3

Have you ever heard of a poor man's copyright? You send your work to youself. When you get it back in the mail, don't open the envelope. That way, it will be in a sealed, date-stamped envelope.



I don't know if this is just an urban legend or something .. but if it does work, it only costs a stamp.
