Professional Book Compliance & Rights Management

Formal US Copyright Registration and Library of Congress LCCN registration

 

Your partner in securing your literary legacy and ensuring library-readiness.

Navigating the bureaucratic hurdles of the U.S. Copyright Office and the Library of Congress can be time-consuming for an author. As your Designated Filing Agent, we handle the technical submissions so you can focus on your craft. We provide the professional oversight typically reserved for major publishing houses, ensuring your work is fully protected and properly catalogued for national discovery.

  • While copyright is essentially automatic upon creation, formal registration is still required to file infringement lawsuits, seek statutory damages, and file for legal fees associated with the lawsuit. We manage the entire Electronic Copyright Office (eCO) application process, including file uploads and fee processing on your behalf. Without the formal registration, your copyright only grants exclusive rights to copy, distribute, and create derivative works. Authors can still send DMCA take-down notices to online service providers to remove infringing content, but an author cannot file an infringement lawsuit in federal court.

See full product description. You must have completed the Copyright and LCCN intake form for the book prior to making payment. If this order is received prior to the form, we will give you 10 days to submit the form or be refunded.

Service Disclaimer & Liability Waiver

Filing Agent Agreement & Disclaimer of Liability By checking this box and submitting this application, you (the "Author/Client") hereby agree to the following terms with Wilder Creek Publishing ("Agent"), a business operating under the laws of the State of Wyoming: Truthfulness of Information: The Author represents and warrants that all information provided—including but not limited to authorship, ownership of rights, ISBNs, and publication dates—is true, complete, and accurate. The Author acknowledges that submitting false or misleading information to the U.S. Copyright Office or the Library of Congress may result in the rejection of the application or federal legal penalties. No Liability for Author Error: Agent acts solely as a filing facilitator. Agent shall not be held liable for any loss, damage, or legal claim arising from the Author’s failure to provide accurate information or their failure to submit the required manuscript/deposit copies in the format mandated by the Library of Congress PCN Program. Indemnification (Wyoming Compliance): To the fullest extent permitted by Wyoming law, the Author agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Agent from any third-party claims, lawsuits, or damages (including attorney fees) resulting from copyright infringement claims or the Author’s breach of this agreement. Limitation of Service: The Author acknowledges that Agent is not a law firm and is not providing legal or tax advice. Agent does not guarantee that the U.S. Copyright Office or Library of Congress will approve any application, as final determination rests solely with those federal agencies. Mandatory Deposit Responsibility: The Author understands that for LCCN applications, they are legally obligated to send a physical copy of the "best edition" of the book to the Library of Congress immediately upon publication. Failure to do so is a breach by the Author and may result in the permanent suspension of their LCCN. In the event of a violation, a refund will not be made available for services faithfully rendered while acting on your behalf as your agent.

Professional Book Compliance & Rights Management

Formal US Copyright Registration and Library of Congress LCCN registration

 

Your partner in securing your literary legacy and ensuring library-readiness.

Navigating the bureaucratic hurdles of the U.S. Copyright Office and the Library of Congress can be time-consuming for an author. As your Designated Filing Agent, we handle the technical submissions so you can focus on your craft. We provide the professional oversight typically reserved for major publishing houses, ensuring your work is fully protected and properly catalogued for national discovery.

Services Offered:

  • Official U.S. Copyright Registration: While copyright is essentially automatic upon creation, formal registration is still required to file infringement lawsuits, seek statutory damages, and file for legal fees associated with the lawsuit. We manage the entire Electronic Copyright Office (eCO) application process, including file uploads and fee processing on your behalf. Without the formal registration, your copyright only grants exclusive rights to copy, distribute, and create derivative works. Authors can still send DMCA take-down notices to online service providers to remove infringing content, but an author cannot file an infringement lawsuit in federal court.
  • LCCN/PCN Acquisition: We secure your Library of Congress Control Number (LCCN)
    through the Preassigned Control Number (PCN) Program. This essential identifier makes your book discoverable to librarians and book dealers across the country. This is then listed on the copyright page of your book.
  • Mandatory Deposit Management: Following publication, we facilitate the mandatory delivery of physical copies to the Library of Congress to finalize your LCCN and fulfill federal legal requirements. We will give you all mailing and shipping information required.

Why Choose an Independent Agent?

  • Retain Full Independence: Unlike service-based publishers, I do not take a percentage of your royalties or own your publishing imprint. You remain the Publisher of Record.
  • Accuracy & Compliance: Small errors in metadata during the LCCN application can lead to permanent rejection or cataloguing delays. I ensure all technical data—from ISBNs to page counts—is submitted correctly.
  • Professional Presence: Having an agent-filed LCCN gives your self-published work the same professional footprint as books from “Big Five” publishers, increasing your credibility with libraries and retailers.

You must have completed the Copyright and LCCN intake form for the book prior to making payment. If this order is received prior to the form, we will give you 10 days to submit the form or be refunded.
