Your copyright page

Copyright © [Year] [Your Name]
All rights reserved.

No part of this book may be reproduced in any form or by any electronic or mechanical means, including information storage and retrieval systems, without written permission from the author, except for the use of brief quotations in a book review.

This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places and incidents are either the products of the author's imagination or used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, events or locales is entirely coincidental.

First edition

Common wording to adapt for your book, not legal advice. The copyright page usually sits on the back of your title page, set in small type.

What goes on a copyright page

Most copyright pages carry the copyright notice (the © symbol, the year and the owner), a rights statement, any ISBNs with their formats, credits for the cover, editing and illustrations, and the edition. Fiction usually adds a short disclaimer that the characters are invented.

Where it goes

The copyright page is usually the back of the title page, so it sits on a left-hand page near the front of the book. It's set in small type, and it counts toward your page count.

Quoting scripture or songs

Most Bible translations allow a limited number of verses with a specific notice: copy it exactly from the translation's permissions page. Song lyrics almost always need permission from the publisher before you print them.
