How to Copyright Your Written Material For Less Than $1.00 Or Thru The Library Of Congress
- 1). First put all your written material together. Place them in an envelope. It might be best to do one at a time or if it is all one topic such as poetry you can place them all in the same envelope. If it weighs more than 13oz. you will need extra postage.
- 2). Next, you want to send it to yourself. After it arrives at your house do not ever, ever open it. If you open the envelope your material is no longer protected by copyright.
- 3). Another way to copyright your material is thru the Library of Congress, Copyright Office, 101 Independence Avenue SE, Washington, D.C. 20559-6000. Copyright fees can change at any time, please contact the Copyright Office for a current fee pricing. You may write to the above address or call (202) 707-3000.
