Yes, you can!

When you generate a Leanpub book, we automatically add a copyright message using your name at the beginning of the book, like this:

You can change that to your own copyright message by going here:

https://leanpub.com/YOUR_BOOK/settings/copyright

...making sure to replace YOUR_BOOK with your book's unique web address.

You can also access this page by selecting "Copyright" in the Settings section of your book's Overview page:

The page will look like this:

To create a custom copyright message, select "Custom":

This will reveal the custom copyright message options:

If you enter some "Custom Copyright Owner" information, you will see a preview of the copyright message at the bottom of the page:

You can also type a different date or date range:

When you're happy with the message, click "Update Book":

The next time you generate a version of your book, you will now see your custom copyright message:

OK, that's it!
