You can move from being a writer to being an author!  I have a heart for writing and love to hear about others who also love sharing their thoughts through the written word. As a published author, I periodically get questions about my writing experience.

Just the other day a friend asked me about the copyright process for a literary work she had completed. Actually, every few months a writer asks me about the copyright process for their literary work. So, I decided to post some information to help you begin this process. I am not a lawyer and this is not legal counsel. I am merely sharing the process I went through to secure a copyright for my book manuscript when it was in it’s early stages.

Do you have a book in you? I’ve been blessed to meet a lot of people because of my book, Transition: Breaking Through the Barriers. Quite a few are closet writers who open up when they discover my work has been published. This phenomenon has brought me to a significant realization…

I believe everyone, young and old, has at least one book in them. Why do I believe this? Because we all have a story . We are all affected by the lives of others and our existence impacts those around us. In writing terms, isn’t that basically what a life is… a collection of chapters that build into a story, which other people read?
