FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Where do you buy the photos from, are they legal to use?
I buy royalty-free images from Deposit Photo or DollarPhotoClub, and each image can be used in up to 499,000 to 250,000 covers (meaning if you sell more than 250,000 copies of your book, we need to purchase an Extended License for each picture if you wish to keep using the cover) and yes it's all perfectly legal.
How do I credit inside the book?
What I require is "Cover Art by Niina Cord / http://niinascoverdesign.weebly.com " on the copyright page. Also the image credit ( which I provide for you ) will be after it, which will look something like this:
© [Photographer's name] / Deposit Photo
© [Photographer's name] / Dollar Photo Club
© [Photographer's name] / Deposit Photo
© [Photographer's name] / Dollar Photo Club
When do I pay you?
As we begin the project, I do ask the money before hand, but I won't be buying the images until we are both sure the cover is Perfect.
What is the cover making process like?
It's all explained here : HOW-TO: Making Your Cover
Do you do refunds?
If you want to pull out of the project you need to do it before the images are purchased that is before we settle to a final version of the cover. If you do want to pull out for I will refund you, but will keep 20% for the work already done (depending on the situation).
What if I want to change the cover image after you have purchased the images?
We can change the cover, but there will be additional charge (equal to the price of the new images).
