    About copyright issues - can I use painting from older artists - such as Van Gogh in a children’s book? Also, do most children’s authors provide their own illustrations or does the publisher act as matchmaker for author and illustrator?

    • @JulesMarriner
      @JulesMarriner 4 дні тому

      Copyright- you have to be very careful even with old paintings. Check if they are ‘in the public domain’. And publishers would usually use an illustrator they’ve used before and would not expect you to provide one.

    I am revising my children's book for republishing under my pen name (your suggestion). I did not do a blurb the first time, as I didn't think it was necessary. It seems like you put up a video just when I need it. I'll save it to watch later, so I can watch it again and again. I'll work on a blurb once I start the revision. Scary. BTW, last year you reassured me that my stick figure artwork would be just fine, I thank you again for the encouragement. Yesterday, a lady (water color artist) visited my air museum (I'm a volunteer) and I asked her to look at my books, and let me know if she could improve my artwork. She said my images were precious, recommending I leave them alone. She added that my images would be cute as dolls, which she wouldn't hesitate to buy.

    Thank you for the tips. I’m writing a space adventure series book for 10-12year old. I believe we can write a chapter book for that age group. Question: is a chapter book the same as a mini series or a short story?

    • @JulesMarriner
      @JulesMarriner 8 днів тому

      No, they are all different. Chapter book is for 7 years (approx) up and depending on topic and style of writing, can be for older audiences. Mini series really means more than one story or book with the character or theme. Short story is usually much shorter, too short for a book. You might put several short stories in a book. Hope that helps.

      Hi Mark, it means they just want the written text. If it’s a picture books, I would write it in chunks and indicate the page numbers, if it is a longer book, indicate the chapters. You should also send a one page synopsis, outlining the basic story in a few paragraphs. Hope that helps?
