yoni Posted May 28, 2016 Posted May 28, 2016 Hello to everyone, I'm thinking about publishing my work on KDP. But I'm planning to do so with a pen name. how would the copyright law work in that matter? Also, I have seen this ISBN code talked about, can someone care to explain about it or what it does? Thanks ahead for the help.
Robinski he/him Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) Wikipedia is a good starting point for this. ISBN stands for International Standard Book Number. Wiki says "ISBN issuance is country-specific, in that ISBNs are issued by the ISBN registration agency that is responsible for that country or territory regardless of the publication language. The ranges of ISBNs assigned to any particular country are based on the publishing profile of the country concerned, and so the ranges will vary depending on the number of books and the number, type, and size of publishers that are active. Some ISBN registration agencies are based in national libraries or within ministries of culture and thus may receive direct funding from government to support their services. In other cases, the ISBN registration service is provided by organisations such as bibliographic data providers that are not government funded. In Canada, ISBNs are issued at no cost with the stated purpose of encouraging Canadian culture. In the United Kingdom, United States, and some other countries, where the service is provided by non-government-funded organisations, the issuing of ISBNs requires payment of a fee."
