I want to get very serious about getting published in the future but I want to be careful as well. Let's say for example I post an excerpt from my story or a synopsis, and someone takes the ideas and makes their own story and I can clearly see it is stolen from my works, is there anything you can do?
Technically you have the article of the webpage which you would have posted the original writting so that would prove it was your ideas. I just want to understand how much of my novels I should expose and how much should remain just with me.
I've heard that once you upload it onto the web you are instantly the "owner" and the rights are yours but I've also heard that once you upload it it's anyones game and publishers wont take any interest in publishing you if parts of your book are already uploaded on the web.
