No, i doubt u can get a copyright on a synopsis of a book but i think the best way to make sure no one takes your ideas is to take the question off of yahoo answers!. Even if some people have seen it i don't think that too many people will take your idea and make a book out of it!. I wouldn't worry too much since is it just a synopsis

You can't copyright an idea, only the finished written expression of that idea!. If you don't want anyone to steal your ideas, don't post them until you are finished!. Find someone you trust to give you feedback privately!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Maybe just type it up in a book and make sure you STAMP IT WITH ORIGINALITY!. Sign it and stuff!. Then if anyone steals it!. Just remember you have the "Book" on it!.

That's the fast way!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
