Even though your content is copyrighted when you create it, proving it is the challenge. Whoever proves they wrote it first wins.\n\nIt is very possible that it could be plagiarized by anyone who finds it. I suggest you find a way to copyright it so that once you find your poetry published, you can go after the author or publisher.\n\nThe best way is to go to copyright.gov and apply for a copyright for your content.\n\nA poor man's method of copy protecting your material is to snail mail a copy of your work to yourself leaving it sealed. The postmark date would identify the date of your work. But as this is a poor man's method, it is not fool proof and is dificult to prove in court.

Why not make your own CDs and sell them.  If you are any good local radio station might air your songs for publicity.

Tell her to go to www.guru.com and sign up.  It's free to look at the basic information and to bid on projects.\n\nI've used this service several times for freelance writing assignments.  And they safe-pay as well (escrow).

Do not go to poetry.com it is a huge scam.  It was even on Dateline!  I'm surprised people are still suckered in by them.  Go to local coffee houses, read your poetry.  When you are ready to publish, go to the Library of Congress, and get your poem legally put in your name.

First off, make sure you copyright it. As far as production goes, you can hire a studio with a really good producer and record it yourself. No one in the music industry is going to accept unsolicited material. You need to promote it and get it heard. This is a long difficult process. In music it's the truth that you have to spend money to make money. Also try songramp.com. There is no charge for membership and there are hundreds of independent producers and artists. You can post your lyrics in the "lyrics seeking music" category. If you're serious don't give up.

Aw, that's cute. :)\nI probably could whip up a poem for you, but I usually charge. I'm a published poet you see. I'll do things for free for my friends though.\nJust send that poem. If you wrote it yourself it will be that much more special to your friend. :)

I think they are very nice...You are quite talented with poems.\n\nHave you considered getting in touch with a greetings card company? If you have the talent, why not share it with the world, and profit from it?

Unless you are a prodigy and I am guessing by your spelling you are not, most publishing houses will not do this for free. And most won't publish unless you have an agent, and most agents won't take you unless you have been published (a biatch isn't it?) I have listed a company below that will aid you in publishing your works with out sponsorship from a major publishing company. It will cost you, but it guarantees publication and some distribution opportunities (such as Barnes & Noble, Walden Books, and some websites that just sell books).  If they are just short stories, send them into magazines, sometimes they will pay you for your stories. A word of advice, practice your grammar and spelling technics, it costs extra to have your manuscripts proofread. Good luck!

There have been a lot of problems lately with people stealing and posting things on the Internet. The (incorrect) assumption is that anything on the Web is public domain. Creators of all types are learning to protect themselves by making it clear that their work is copyrighted: A copyright protects an artist, publisher or writer from unauthorized copying of his or her work - including song lyrics. \n \n \n Steps:\n1.  Write your lyric and put it in a tangible form - on paper, sheet music, computer disk or audiotape. You can't copyright an idea that is still in your head.\n \n2.  Recognize that anything written after April 1, 1989, is automatically protected (in the United States) by an assumed copyright. If you don't transfer the copyright to someone else, it will last 70 years past your date of death.\n \n3.  Register with the U.S. Copyright Office so that you can more easily collect damages if your work is copied. This also provides public notice.\n \n4.  Use the U.S. Copyright Office's PA form to register a song. Use its SR form to register published and unpublished sound recordings.\n \n5.  Expect to pay a nonrefundable fee for registration. The current charge is $30.\n \n6.  Include a copyright notice at the end of your work. The proper format is: Copyright or �, year of first publication of the work, author's name: � 2000 John Doe or Copyright 2000 John Doe.\n \n \n Tips:\n Check out the Copyright Office's free electronic-mailing list, NewsNet. To subscribe, send a message to LISTSERV@RS8.LOC.GOV. Type SUBSCRIBE USCOPYRIGHT in the body of the message.\n \n \n Warnings:\n Register your copyright anytime, but remember that, if registration is made within three months before an infringement of the work, the owner can collect statutory damages and attorney's fees in court action. If the work is not registered, he or she can collect only actual damages and profits.\n \n Tips from eHow Users:\n Poor man's copyright \nTo extend this idea and make it more legal, have the copy(s) notarized before sealing it (them) in an envelope. Be sure to mail it to yourself the same day so that the postmark will coincide with the date it was notarized (and you won't have to open the envelope in case you forgot exactly when it was notarized). Although not a secure substitute for a government copyright, it would still be legally recognized by the government as valid.\n \n \nRate this tip:     \n \n Poor Man's copyright by eHow Friend\nI would advise that you not to rely on the Poor Man's copyright. Ensure that you read up very carefully on the Poor Man's copyright before you put faith in it to copyright songs or lyrics.
