Keep a phone log when you start talking with business persons. A phone log is date/time/year who with and summary of conversation. Your future lawyer may need all of this to deal with whatever legal issue you are having.

Behind contract #1 there will be #2 and so on. There will be foreign rights sales. Audio contracts and even options contracts. One story may go hot and fill a whole file drawer by the time you die. You organize and keep it organized for legal.

Behind your copyright registration will be Contract 1 indicating the date and circumstances of your first sale of your story. Never sell your rights. You should have a full rights return date in every contract. You track your rights dates usually on front of file.

When you sell a story to a market you will spend the money to copyright.gov to copyright your story.

Your registration should arrive within six months. You place this registration as the first or second page in your file. It is your proof of origin.

Any writing asset can be sold and resold endless times both domestic and foreign. Your files are critical.
