How do I give copyright notice?

Copyright Notice

Brooke A. Wharton, in The Writer Got Screwed (but didn't have to), recommends the following on your title page, to provide those who receive your manuscript with copyright notice:

1. the symbol, ©, the word “Copyright”, or its abbreviation, “Copr.”,
2. the year of first publication (the year you first wrote the story), and,
3. your name.

Example: Copyright John Hubcap, 2003.

Wharton also advises you follow that with “All rights reserved.”
