FAQs
Q: Will I be the only one with this cover design?
Yes, you will be the only one with this cover design. However, it is not uncommon to see other books using the same or similar components, i.e. a popular cover model. That’s because most premade covers are compromised of royalty-free stock images–meaning, anyone can pay a one-time fee to license them, so long as they agree to their terms.
Q: Will I own the copyright to my cover after I check out?
No. The copyrights for the individual components (i.e. the royalty-free stock images I license) remain with their creators, and the copyright for the derivative work/design remains with me. You are licensing the design for use on your book cover and related advertisements. (Yes, giveaway items are considered advertisements.)
Q: Is there a limit to how many books I can sell with my cover?
Right now, yes. Standard-licensed ($) stock images can be used in:
–Â Up to 500,000 print copies
–Â An unlimited number of e-book copies
If you believe you’re going to surpass 500,000 print copies, let me know and I’ll help you upgrade to the extended license ($$) via the stock content marketplace.
Q: Do I have to credit you?
Many folks choose to credit their designer and/or stock photographers at the bottom of their copyright page, i.e. Cover Design by Carrie Butler. Whether or not you do so is entirely up to you. Just let me know if you want the name(s) of your premade’s stock photographers.
Q: May I have the stock photos from my cover to use elsewhere?
I can link you to the stock content marketplace where you can license them, but I cannot legally sub-license them to you.
Q: Is there a way to be notified when you release new covers?
If you want to be one of the first to know about new and on-sale covers, be sure to sign up for the monthly roundup (email newsletter) or join the Facebook Group!
