My book was edited professionally over the course of two years and six complete revisions. My agent/editor and I collaborated on composition and even content. When it was finally complete, my agent abruptly retired for personal reasons and, though he offered to help me place my novel with someone else, I decided to self-publish this one.
With some help from my wife -- a great deal of help -- I performed the banal tasks attached to formatting and publishing my book and I rushed out to show it to my friends and family. They received it well, and within a few hours a close friend had posted a photo of her Kindle with my book opened to the title page.
The title page -- the one page in the whole damn book which had never suffered the calculating gaze of my editor -- and there, where it was supposed to say "Copyright", it instead read, "Copywright".
Long story short: yes, you can edit your book after you publish it.
