Author’s Mic™ | Copyrighting Your Book – Update

On this episode of The Author’s Mic™, Kelly Morgan shares a quick update on protecting your creative work through copyright.
A few months ago, Kelly broke down everything indie authors need to know about registering a copyright—cost, process, myths, and why it matters. In this follow-up, she shows the official proof: both of her books, You Sound White and Weight For It, are now fully copyrighted.
“It’s not expensive. It just takes a few months, but it’s worth it. Your words are worth protecting.” — Kelly Morgan
Key Points
- Copyrighting is simple and affordable.
- You’ll receive an official Certificate of Registration with a registration number and date.
- Expect a processing window of roughly two months.
- Protect your work early—don’t wait.
