You've written a book. Now what? How do you protect it from piracy? And what are your copyrights?

What is a Copyright?

A copyright is a form of legal protection granted to the creators of original works, such as printed book, e-book, audio-book, video, photos, illustrations, pictures, songs, software and website.

It gives the copyright holder the exclusive right to reproduce, sell, distribute, and display the work, as well as to create derivative works based on it.

Copyrights enable authors to make money by selling their work and preventing others from copying or selling their work without their permission or a license. This means that others cannot use, share or distribute the work without the copyright owner’s permission.

by Brian Jud
Bowker | Tue Jan 31, 2023

When negotiating a large-quantity order your prospects will expect you to present a proposal. This is your recommendation of how to proceed, your solution to the buyer’s problem. Give them an answer to the unspoken question, “How will your product make a credible improvement over the existing or previous ways in which they have conducted promotional campaigns?” Here are the Top Ten Tips for Creating a Sales Proposal. 
 
1. Give a summary of what you propose, why it will benefit the buyer and how much it will cost – all on one page.  
 
2. An 8 – 15% improvement gets attention. If you predict a result that is too low, they are not interested. If too high, it is not believable. Make a reasonable and doable claim that is backed by credible data. Do not offer a guarantee.
