Question: How to Check Plagiarism of My Books, Does the Publisher Check It?

Question from my How to Publish Your Book Facebook Group.

How to Check Plagiarism of My Books, Does the Publisher Check It? 

I am not really sure what the answer is here but we had some excellent resources put up Brook Smith and thought I would share them. The person questioning is wanting to make sure all her content is original.

"This is a great question. Yes, they do check and if they find you in violation you risk some heavy consequences, banded and accounts canceled. Do everything you can to avoid this. If you have questions about any of your works, educate yourself and use several software checking services to check your work. Do not rely on just one opinion. Make sure you understand "how to cite your work and fact check" everything. Here are a few links to start your education regarding Plagiarism software that you can use." – Brook Smith

• ProWritingAid.com, Plagiarism Checks

• Grammarly.com Plagiarism Checker & Proofreader

• RealSimple.com How to Fact-Check the Internet

• MIT Libraries, Citing Sources: Overview

And if you want to search on Google for further info here are two good phrases for both text and images, "plagiarism checker free" and for images "image checker for plagiarism"

I am pleased to announce the release of my new book I Want to Publish My Book But I Don't Know How: Everything You Need to Know to Create an e-book or Print Book, Available in Print and Kindle

"I want to publish my book but I don't know how to do it, please help me." In my How to Publish Your Book Facebook Group I get some version of this question more than any other. Usually the book is written and that is as far as the author has gotten. Where do I start? What do I do? How do I publish my book? I have just published, now what do I do? These are really big and often confusing questions. So, let’s dive in and see if I can give you some direction and the basic overview of how you can publish your book.

I Want to Publish My Book But I Don’t Know How is set up in three parts depending on what your questions or needs are.

Part 1. Key Publishing Questions. Part 1 takes you through many of the basic questions that people ask about publishing their book. I talk about where to publish, what is print-on-demand, what is an ISBN number, CreateSpace, Kindle and how does copyright work.

Part 2. Writing, Creating and Publishing Your Book. Part 2 is an overview of the creating and publishing process. I have broken it down into 12 steps. We start with creating the content. Then print or e-book, what is involved and how do you do it, interior and cover. We move to publishing your book, how and where it is done and then one of my favorite topics, re-purposing your content for additional revenue. Includes the Self-Publishing Checklist.

Part 3. The Bonus Section. In the bonus section I cover four topics; how to launch your book as an Amazon best seller with a Best Seller Check List. How to create a book quickly using my Top Ten Technique and we wrap up with a resource list.
