Hi everyone.

My publisher just announced on Facebook the pending publication of the sequel to my novel To Touch the Sun.

You can check out To Touch the Sun by visiting:

I'm pretty excited. :)

Congratulations, Laura!

Thanks. I'm very happy about it.

i have a question if someone copies a title for instance if i copy the title to touch the sun (which i can promise i wont) but i change the contents and make it totally different does it count as copy write?

Honestly I'm not sure about the legalities of it however, I do notice a lot of the same titles being reused for books, even best sellers. Which surprised me, though I would suppose it would be hard to research every book title to see if yours matches. If you search for mine on Amazon, there's a romance of the same title that was published in 1991. I wasn't aware of it at all until I searched for my book after it was published. Haven't heard any ramifications regarding this. I'm trying to think of some other titles (I work in a library and have often seen matching titles come through). Well, Dean L. Koontz has a series called Frankentstein (that's pretty blatant). And searching for the title that I was considering for a nonfiction book I'm currently working on, I notice that there are several books with the title "Guilt by Association." I think in that case I wouldn't use it for search purposes. I'd rather try for a title that doesn't have a lot of competition when you search. :)

It's an interesting question, one I've often asked. I'm guessing copy write must belong to the work as a whole, as opposed to the title.

Copyright, please!

And you really don't have to worry about the title unless it's something so unique it's an obvious copy, e.g., it would be daft to write something called Smilla's Sense of Snow.

You can not copyright a title on the original work inside.
