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.
