Hey everyone I have a few poems I have written, I'm not a professional writer but I have been thinking about submitting some of them for contests and to publishers. Any tips on how I would go about copy-writing my work so it doesn't get stolen?

    Just go to U.S. Copyright Office and submit a copyright application and pay their fees.

    By the way - copyRIGHT is the rights you claim in your creative work

    copyWRITING is writing an advertisement for selling

    Depending where you are in the world, and where you are hoping to publish your work in some places your copyright is assumed even without any formal notification of such. I know in the US you can register your copyright as suggested by "active trader" and that for other countries just having the copyright symbol on, with your name and year of publication is enough.
    Good luck with your poems
