Are my fears justified or not?
I want to hire a copywriter for an ebook I've finished writing.
In my mind, the problem is that I haven't started selling it yet and what's to stop the copywriter from stealing it and starting to sell it as their own work? Even if I sent it to them as a secured PDF (of course) from which the text could not be copied/pasted, it would still be easy to have someone transcribe it.
I could of course subsequently prove that the work was originally mine, but the legal process could be costly.
If I had already sold a few hundred copies at least, it would be much, much easier for me to prove that the original was mine. But this is not the case yet, and I'm not sure how to get started without hiring a copywriter. I'm not good at writing sales pitches.
I haven't hired a copywriter before. Are there copywriters who do not need to look at the product before writing the sales pitch? I'd be happy to answer any questions they might have, or have them interview me.
Opinions?
