Hi all,
I'm a history blogger and a publisher has asked me to put together a proposal for a non-fiction book, which is exciting.
My topic is quite visual, about visiting historic places, and lends itself to contemporary images of castles/palaces/old houses, etc, in addition to primary sources.
On my blog I presently use commercially licensed Creative Commons images (at no charge). I have also paid for standard license stock images in the past.
The publisher expects me to source imagery and would like examples in the proposal.
1. Does anyone have any experience of using stock photos in their non-fiction work? I'm assuming that a standard license would be all that's required, as this covers print runs up to 500,000 (I don't think I'll be getting there any time soon!). However, does anyone know differently?
2. Does anyone have any experience of using Creative Commons licensed imagery in print?
Thank you
