ISBN & Copyright Registration

Man Holding a Globe Containing a Lock and Shield

ISBN Registration Process

Purpose: We ensure your book is properly registered with an ISBN for efficient distribution.


Our Process:

  1. ISBN Acquisition: We obtain an ISBN for each book format (e.g., paperback, hardcover, eBook) as required by your distribution channels. We register with the ISBN agency for your country (e.g., Bowker in the U.S.).
  2. Assigning the ISBN: Once obtained, we assign the ISBN to the specific book format, ensuring that each unique version has its own ISBN. We record details such as title, author, publication date, format, and publisher to accompany each ISBN assignment.
  3. Metadata Entry: We input the ISBN and related book metadata into relevant book industry databases for discovery, including details like the title, genre, synopsis, author bio, publication date, and cover image.
  4. Confirmation and Record-Keeping: We confirm the ISBN registration by reviewing the entry for accuracy. We keep a record of ISBNs, metadata, and dates of acquisition to maintain an organized ISBN management system.
  5. Barcode Generation (if applicable): We generate a barcode using the ISBN if needed for print book distribution, allowing retailers and distributors to track inventory.


With our thorough registration process, your book will be ready for distribution and easily discoverable.


Copyright Registration Process

Purpose: We guide you through the copyright registration process to protect your work legally.


Our Process:

  1. Determine Eligibility and Necessity: We advise you about the benefits of copyright registration. While copyright is automatically granted upon creation in many jurisdictions, registration can offer legal advantages.
  2. Prepare the Copyright Application: We gather necessary details such as your name, title, publication date, and manuscript copy. We ensure that your work is in its final form, as revisions after copyright registration may require a separate registration.
  3. Submission to Copyright Office: We submit the application online or by mail to the relevant copyright office (e.g., the U.S. Copyright Office), along with the manuscript and applicable fees. We select the correct type of work (e.g., literary, artistic) and complete any additional information specific to the type of work being registered.
  4. Receipt and Record-Keeping: After submission, we keep a record of the application number and date submitted. Once processed, we retain the official copyright registration certificate for legal documentation.


With our guidance, you can ensure your work is legally protected and that all necessary steps are properly managed.


Standard Fees and Turnaround Time

Purpose: We provide clear information about the costs and expected timelines for ISBN and copyright registration services.


Our Process:

  • Standard Fees:
    • We clearly outline the fees for each service, including:
      • ISBN assignment
      • Barcode generation
      • Copyright registration
  • Turnaround Time:
    • We inform you about the expected timelines for each service, noting that ISBN registration is usually faster than copyright certification.


With transparent pricing and clear timelines, we make sure you know exactly what to expect.


Client Communication and Support

Purpose: We ensure clear and consistent communication throughout the ISBN and copyright registration process.


Our Process:

  1. Initial Consultation: We provide an overview of the benefits of ISBN and copyright registration and answer any questions you may have.
  2. Updates and Confirmation: We notify you upon successful ISBN and copyright registration, providing you with the ISBNs and a copy of the copyright certificate.


With our dedicated communication and support, you’ll have all the information and assistance you need throughout the registration process.
