The way that copyright law works in the US is that the license stays with the purchaser.

So if I purchase any artwork, photo, or font, I can use it to create your book, but I cannot then send it to you to own. I may purchase elements on your behalf at my own cost, or you can request that I purchase a specific element, and I will purchase it at your direction and add its cost to your invoice.

Or if you purchase a font or image, the license would be yours, and you could send it to me to create your book. The license would remain yours, and I would not use it for any other project.

Fonts:

I strive to use Google Fonts, which are free and can be used on your website without fear of any copyright issues. You can even do your own shopping for your favorite font and let me know which ones you like at fonts.google.com.

If you want a very specific font from another website, it might need to be purchased. I’m happy to use any font you like and add its cost to my invoice.

The body-text font I normally use is usually Adobe Garamond Pro, which is quite efficient in its spacing, in my efforts to reduce your page count and save you money at the printer.

I cannot legally give you any font files that I purchase, but I will send you the artwork I create using them (such as your book’s title page).

Stock images:

I purchase stock images only when necessary from Adobe Stock Photo, at my own cost, at no additional cost to you. I exclude Generative AI as a default.

I always strive to create original artwork with my own digital or hand drawings or photographs before turning to stock photos.

If you have a specific image you’d like me to use from any other artist, I’d be happy to do so. You can purchase it and provide it to me (then as the purchaser, you retain the license), or I can purchase it and add its cost to my invoice (then as the purchaser, I retain the license and cannot send it to you).

I cannot legally give you any exact stock images that I purchase, but I will send you the artwork I create using them.
