How to Own Your Intellectual Property is a practical guide for creators who want clarity, ownership, and control over their work.

This book explains how intellectual property actually works—without legal jargon, platform bias, or unnecessary complexity. It is written for authors, entrepreneurs, and creators who want to publish intentionally, understand their rights, and avoid common mistakes that quietly transfer control away from them.

Inside the guide, you’ll learn:

• What intellectual property is and what you automatically own when you create

• How ISBNs work, when they matter, and when they don’t

• What Library of Congress registration does—and what it does not do

• The difference between publishing, distribution, and ownership

• How to evaluate platforms, contracts, and publishing options with discernment

This is not a how-to-write book. It is a clarity guide—designed to help you make informed decisions before, during, and after publishing.
