Copyright Change
Hello everyone. As I am down the rabbit hole of trying to self publish. I have run into an additional problem. I had already submitted my book to US Copyright office with my old title. Its currently in the processing status. Does anyone know how I can change this since I have redone the title using the guidelines of this site? Is there a way to change it in process? Thanks.

@Jedidah Queen Actually I took the course here. And I read Julie's book. I realized. I needed to make some serious changes to my marketing efforts.

Working on my hook.
I am in the process of self publishing. And I am applying things I have learned from the course and the book. And I think I have a pretty good hook. I am writing a book for baby boomers. They are not into Bitcoin, but they are heavily invested in the current decrepit financial system. They don't really understand how exposed they are to the next crash. And they need to start to move to a sane and honest system as soon as possible. There is urgency here. But I don't want to scare them to death either. Here is my hook/subtitle "How baby boomers can protect their wealth and retirement, and to actually thrive when the economy goes boom". What do you think? I believe strongly in this. Do you think this hooks?

Thanks Bruce. I appreciate your feedback. You are the perfect audience. This is one of the problems I am trying to break through. In reality Bitcoin is the only real money on earth. It has the one greatest feature it is scarce. More scarce than gold. On the other hand "fiat money" like the dollar is truly a Ponzi scheme by definition. When our politicians want more they just print more pieces of paper. Trying to dispel these myths is a huge issue. But even more important. Baby boomers have lots of savings and investments in dollars. And all of this is at risk as the current system is reaching its breaking point. And when it does break. Getting out and into something safe like Bitcoin will be very difficult without some knowledge and understanding beforehand. That's the purpose of my book. Any other feedback you can give would be awesome.

I can see that Bruce. Thats why you have offered such constructive suggestions so far. And I do appreciate it. I think your instincts are also correct. We have been fed so many lies and BS over the course of history about money. And this occurs daily still. And that is a big reason why you aren't convinced it is safe. Of course this is not the forum to convince you. But I will say you fall right in line with the profile of my reader. And like you said your not dead. Actually far from it. And I am sure you want to live a good life not just an existence on fixed income. And to give you an example. Lets say you are 65 and retired. And you have some good savings. Lets assume $1 million. You now have to live off of this savings for the next 30 years without working. If you spend just $50,000 per year for you and your spouse. That puts you at about 20 years. If prices stay the same. Which they won't. Your fiat money is a melting ice cube. And assuming that the government won't come to get it. Which is unlikely, just look at history. Or assuming there will be no financial emergency in the next thirty years. Highly unlikely also. As you can you can see it doesn't look good without a safe and powerful tool like Bitcoin, not crypt (crypto is for gamblers). All this to say you will need my book. Then decide for yourself. But your feedback has been awesome.

Changing Title Questions
I am going through the self publish and succeed course now. And I have a finished manuscript, been through three edits. I am working with my artist to finalize cover art. And now I need to learn about self publishing. One of the things recommended to me, is to keep a short title. My current working title is "The Baby Boomers Guide To Bitcoin". I am thinking of shortening it to "Bitcoin for Boomers" or Bitcoin For Babyboomers." What do you folks think? Any ideas?
