Everything You Need to Know About Copyright Pages
The copyright page is one of the most overlooked yet important pages in your book. It serves as the legal foundation for your intellectual property, provides distribution metadata, and signals professionalism to readers, retailers, and libraries.
Every traditionally and self-published book needs one. Amazon KDP doesn't require it, but skipping it makes your book look amateurish — and leaves your work legally unprotected. It takes 5 minutes to create and protects you for the life of your book.
📋 Copyright Page Anatomy

Do I Need an ISBN?
It depends on your distribution strategy:
- KDP Ebooks only: Amazon assigns a free ASIN — no ISBN needed
- KDP Print: Amazon provides a free ISBN, but it's tied to Amazon only
- Wide distribution (IngramSpark, libraries, bookstores): You need your own ISBN from Bowker ($125 for one, $295 for 10)
- Professional publishing: Your own ISBNs show you as the publisher of record and look more professional
⚖️ Copyright Protection: What You Need to Know
Your work is automatically copyrighted the moment you write it — you don't need to register to have copyright protection. However:
- Registration with the U.S. Copyright Office ($65 online) is recommended because it allows you to sue for statutory damages if someone copies your work
- The © symbol is not legally required, but it puts infringers on notice and eliminates the "I didn't know" defense
- "All rights reserved" is technically redundant under modern copyright law, but publishers still include it as standard practice
- Copyright lasts for the author's lifetime plus 70 years

Frequently Asked Questions
Do self-published books need a copyright page?
While not legally required for copyright protection (your work is copyrighted the moment you create it), a copyright page is strongly recommended. It looks professional, clearly states your rights, and is required by most distributors and bookstores. It also provides essential metadata like ISBN, edition, and publisher information.
Do I need to register my copyright?
In the US, your work is automatically copyrighted upon creation. However, registering with the US Copyright Office ($65 online) provides additional legal protections — you can sue for statutory damages and attorney's fees if someone infringes your copyright. Many authors register once they start selling significant copies.
What should a copyright page include?
At minimum: copyright symbol (©), year of publication, and author/publisher name. Recommended additions: "All rights reserved" statement, ISBN(s), edition information, country of printing, disclaimer (especially for fiction), and publisher contact. Our generator includes all of these.
