If you put a little in, selling on Amazon can be good. Make sure your keywords and categories are in there. Use social media and/or your website to drive people out to Amazon to buy.
Hello there! Firstly, congratulations on your poetry book. Go to www.copyright.gov which is the US Copyright Office and you can copyright your book there online. The standard application is $65. You'll upload a copy of the manuscript, along with payment. You'll receive the certificate in the mail in about two weeks.
Very interesting, thank you very much. I have a lot of poems, some are already published on poetry collection books decades ago, and some got lost on notebooks that got lost.. but I like to write.. so... im thinking about this... 😄
Hello there! Copyright laws do vary from country to country. So, I would encourage you to visit www.copyrightlaws.com and www.copyright.gov to review the laws in your country and what is entailed. Thank you for that question!
Wow! This is so helpful!!! I’m grateful to have found this channel (or rather I’m grateful that this channel found me, lol). Copyrighting has now become something brought to my attention by someone else who has enjoyed my poetry here on UA-cam… I wonder, if someone tries to use my poetry and I haven’t copyrighted it but I have evidence of my creation of it, can I take action? Anyways, no pressure to answer the question! I enjoyed the content! You have a Sub here 🙏🏾❤️😁🎉
Ken, glad this video was helpful! If you are sharing your work online, it’s a good idea to copyright it for your protection. You can do single poems or groups. www.copyright.gov
Hello thank you About copyright some of my poems and short stories have Bible verses do I do a work cited page before I copyright or after? Thank you so much for the information you gave in this video 😊
@@Anabee399 You have enough poems to do a chapbook (which will have less than 40 or so poems) or a full collection. If you weren't trying to do either of these and just get a copyright on your poems, then you can do that through the copyright office in groups of ten.
Hello there. I don't know that much about Draft 2 Digital. I know they don't charge anything to format but will keep 10 percent of your sale which is lower than standard. I would encourage you to do your research/comparison with Amazon KDP and Ingram Spark to determine what's going to be best for you.
An anthology is a collection of selected writings by various authors within the same genre. Whereas a chapbook is by one author that is less than 50 pages. I hope that helps!
thanks so much, but please is a chapbook made up of poems with different genres or themes? In order words, can l compile poems with different themes in a chapbook
@@kingsleyventus3606 With a chapbook, you will want to have the same theme throughout, especially since it's a small collection. The same theme keeps it cohesive.
You would just create an account on Amazon and upload all your files (manuscript, book cover) and then it will be available. They will print and ship once someone orders.
Thank you for this! The issue I had with trying to upload my poetry in the past is KDP was trying to get me to add chapters, but I did not want to create chapters. Also, does printing to KDP not copywright your work automatically?
Tree Gee, With pricing any of my books, I always research other books within the same genre that are also around the same size. This gives me a good foundation for how I'm going to price my books. As far as audio books, I will doing an audio version for my upcoming poetry book.

Hello! There are no set amount of pages that a poetry book should have. However, I would say that anything less than 50 pages can be considered a chapbook. And chapbooks can be as little as 10 pages. This is a quick way to get your work published.
Thanks for the informative video! When you click publish, what exactly happens? Does the book go live on Amazon right then? Or is there a waiting period, where you then can click publish once the book has been approved?
Hello Zack! After you click send, it is typically reviewed and published within 24-72 hours. Amazon will inform you if any changes need to be made, and then when it actually publishes.
Jenny, What I typically do is use the standard application for a completed manuscript. That way you're not doing one at a time which can costly. However, if you have a dozen or so poems for example, you can make them a small collection and copyright those.
I will say that if you are a new author publishing your first chapbook, you'll want to price it lower than $15. Chapbooks generally are much lower than that. That would be the price of a full-length poetry book.
I am interested in what you said. I am a poet. I am a spoken artist with images. I have subscribe to your channel. I am now to youtube. I would like to know what you think.
Thank you so much for getting me over the first hump, which is the hardest. I truly appreciate your help. I'll be back, and thanks again.

Also can we put an alias name under “author ?”
Yes, I believe you can use an alias.

Thank you for watching!
Glad I found your video! Thinking about publishing a poem ebook. This was great advice
Great to hear! Let me know how it goes.
Do you have a video on how to format for Kindle? There don't seem to be any out there... It matters for form, spacing, etc.
Hello Keith, I do not have a video on that but can certainly do one! Thank you for asking.
Great content is the chat book a hard book or ebook.
Is the pricing information for the printing a price you have to pay yourself to print it?
Yes. Those printing costs are worked in that you pay.
Great video!!!!!!!! Thanks Ms Chisolm
Thank you Jenny!
Hello thank you
About copyright some of my poems and short stories have Bible verses do I do a work cited page before I copyright or after?
Thank you so much for the information you gave in this video 😊
I would do it before making sure you reference which version of the Bible you’re using.
Thank you for the great tutorial. However, I have 1700 poems, so what is the least expensive way to copyright the work?
Hi there Anissha. I would do them in groups, as you can group 10 together at at time, if you're doing a full book.
@@archuletawrites A Chapbook or Traditional book in groups of ten?
@@Anabee399 You have enough poems to do a chapbook (which will have less than 40 or so poems) or a full collection. If you weren't trying to do either of these and just get a copyright on your poems, then you can do that through the copyright office in groups of ten.

You would just create an account on Amazon and upload all your files (manuscript, book cover) and then it will be available. They will print and ship once someone orders.
🤔So wait amazon will print the book for you and just charge you per sell?
Thank u for what u do
Thanks so much!

KDP will copyright for you but I always do it myself using the copyright.gov website.
@@archuletawrites Thank you!
I LOVE THE IDEA OF CHAP BOOKS! Do you call it that in the titles?
No, you don't have to state "chapbook" in your title.
thanks how do you price your short poetry books. have you done the audio yet for audio books with the poetry
Tree Gee, With pricing any of my books, I always research other books within the same genre that are also around the same size. This gives me a good foundation for how I'm going to price my books. As far as audio books, I will doing an audio version for my upcoming poetry book.

Alright. Paperbag for poems?
Can you elaborate on that Amanze?
Enjoyed the video very much! Do you have to obtain a copyright for each poem? Or is this a one time deal?
Hello Gregory and thank you. I would group poems together to copyright, or if you know you have a collection then copyright that particular project.
the video doesnt match the title thats setting up with KDP I was looking how to write or out lined my poems
What is a chap book standard size?
Jenny, I think that 5 X 8 is a great size for chapbooks, especially if you're 40 pages or under.
How many poems can you copyright at one time? or one application?
Jenny, What I typically do is use the standard application for a completed manuscript. That way you're not doing one at a time which can costly. However, if you have a dozen or so poems for example, you can make them a small collection and copyright those.
I tried that already they told me I didn’t have enough pages
Is it expensive to have your work copyright? At exactly what is the price?
Hello Meriam. The standard registration fee for electronic registration is $65.
Excellent info, Archuleta- You Rock!!
Thanks Faith!
Will people really pay $15 for a chapbook of poetry?

Hi! On copyright.gov is it the total body of work you are protecting or do you have to do an application for each poem?
Hello there. You can do one poem or a group (I believe it’s 10).
