  Hello! 

  If I submitted a copyright for a novel that I am writing when it was unpublished, but now I would like to publish it, what steps do I need to complete for the copyright? Do I need to resubmit the copyright (this time as published), do a supplemental form, leave it alone, or etc? Thank you!

  I would check the compendium but I believe you submit a brand new registration because the published work is not the same as the unpublished work.  You would then have two copyrights - one for the published and one for the unpublished.
