Contest Rule: Waiver of All Rights?

Does waiving of all rights mean that I can't reprint my materials in my own book someday?I'm a little nervous on giving up all my rights on anything.

yes

I would not take advantage of that offer if I were you. No, you cannot reprint it and it gives them the authority to do rewrites and then sell it.

You're better off to go onto iUniverse.com, and get into their agreement for $99.00. You maintain copyright and all rights. They will put it for sale on Amazon.com, Borders.com etc...and you can purchase at a steep discount and go out on book-signings for yourself.

I would also make certain that I copyrighted the book with the U.S. Copyright offices in Washington. It's only about $25 and you can e-mail them and they will send you the forms, then send the paperwork with your copyright number.
