KDP Copyright Page Generator
Fill in your book's details below to generate a correctly formatted copyright page, ready to paste into your manuscript.
This generates a standard, commonly used copyright page. It isn't legal advice, if your book has special circumstances (co-authors, a publisher imprint, previously published material, translated work), have it reviewed before you finalize your interior.
Common questions
Do I need a copyright page?
Not required by KDP, but standard practice and expected by readers. It's usually the first or second page after the title page.
Do I need to register my copyright first?
No. Copyright exists automatically the moment you create the work. A copyright page is a notice, not a registration. Formal registration with the U.S. Copyright Office is optional and separate.
What's the fiction disclaimer for?
It clarifies that characters, places, and events are fictional or used fictitiously, standard for novels, and helps head off any claim that a real person or business was being depicted.
Should I include my ISBN?
It's common practice if you have one. KDP's free ISBN doesn't require it here since KDP handles barcode placement separately, but if you bought your own ISBN, including it is standard.
Why this matters
The copyright page is one of those small formatting details that's easy to forget until you're already assembling the final interior, and then it becomes a scramble to remember what actually goes on it. Getting the wording right the first time means one less thing to fix after your proof copy arrives.
Once you've got your copyright page text, KDP Workspace's free Interior Assembler can help you turn your finished pages, copyright page included, into a spec-correct interior PDF.
