are writers required to have that before submitting your synopsis and book proposal to an agent?|||You get both from your publisher as a part of your standard author's contract once you have sold the book. No do not copyright your book. It makes publishers and agents feel you don't trust them. And you cannot get an ISBN anyway. They are sold in lots of ten only to publishers. Do nothing - when the book sells, all of those things are taken care of for you. Pax-C|||Nope. ISBN-10s and ISBN-13s are assigned to a title after the contract has been signed, but lately, I've been getting ISBNs without the contract signed due to rush titles.
ISBN stands for International Standard Book Number, and you shouldn't have to worry about acquiring one at all. And you don't have to worry about the LCCN, either. The editorial department applies for an application for an LC number, and after the Library of Congress has read it, assigned it all of the numbers it needs to (it's a crazy-long process), you'll get Cataloging in Publication Data (CIP) along with the LC number.
Rest easy!
