How to protect yourself when you suddenly receive an invitation from a magazine?

Well, people often have this kind of worry when they are excited. It is good to have the awareness to protect yourself.

In fact, the legal relationship here is very simple. They commission you to create a book. Whether it is a tutorial, video, picture or structural diagram, it is a copyrighted work. If it is not handled properly after creation, it may be deemed that the copyright belongs to the magazine.

So, the only thing you worry about is that the copyright belongs to them after you create it.

Then, what you need to do is to go to the local copyright office or notary office for certification after the design is completed. Register so you can have an official certification that you were the first to complete the creation. This way, you have the first mover advantage.

At the same time, keep all the information to and from the magazine, and try to use email instead of text messages. For important issues, you must not make phone calls unless you can record. These can prove that your creation is entirely your own creativity and has not been funded by the unit.

In this case, the copyright belongs to you. They can't take it away, no way!
