Copyright

I met an author--make that aspiring author--who paid an attorney $1000 to obtain a copyright on her book. Wow! Someone made some money on that deal. The government website is available for self-service copyrighting. It's not the most user-friendly site, but if I can do it you can too. I think the current cost is around $50. My acquaintance could have spent $950 or so on something else. Maybe I shouldn't have told her, since the information about using the US Gov website seemed to put her into a funk. But now she will know next time. BTW, cute book. I hope she gets published!
