Are you a self-publishing author looking to protect your intellectual property and avoid liability for the actions of your readers? Look no further than the ⭐️Copyrights & Disclaimers for Self-Publishing Authors⭐️ guide!

This comprehensive PDF guide is designed to help authors of fiction or non-fiction books include statements that assert their ownership of the material and protect them from potential legal issues. With information on copyright and disclaimers, my guide will help you navigate the sometimes complicated legal landscape of self-publishing and ensure that you're taking the necessary steps to protect yourself and your work.

💚 helpful 15-page PDF
💚 copyright templates for basic books, fiction & nonfiction, picture books, etc.
💚 disclaimer templates for business, medical, and financial books

This guide contains several pages of information about the difference between copyright and disclaimers, what information must be included in each, and how to fill in the gaps that might not be obvious to self-publishing authors. I'll walk you through the important elements of each statement, including the name of your publisher and where your book is printed.

But that's not all. This guide also includes several templates for copyright statements, including ones for fiction, non-fiction, and illustrated books with design credits. It also provides templates for disclaimers for business books, medical books, and financial books, so you can be sure that you're including the appropriate language for your specific genre.

❗️ Please note that this guide was written by a book designer based on common industry practices, not a lawyer. While I've done my best to provide accurate and helpful information, if you have major concerns about the liability of your book in particular, I strongly recommend consulting a legal professional prior to publishing.
