The first covered the <a href=\"https:\/\/amberrfield.com\/staging\/1483\/draft-edit-your-self-published-book\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">drafting &amp; editing process<\/a> while last week&#8217;s talked about <a href=\"https:\/\/amberrfield.com\/staging\/1483\/creating-a-book-cover-for-your-self-published-book\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">creating your cover<\/a>. At this point you&#8217;ve got a nearly finished draft and an awesome cover for your book. Are you ready to hit publish now? Well, no. There are a few more things to think about, including book images &amp; permissions. This part doesn&#8217;t apply to all authors. If you are writing a novel that you dreamed up and don&#8217;t need any images, you can skip ahead to the next article. But, especially if you are writing non-fiction, you&#8217;ll need to spend a reasonable amount of time on this step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Book Images<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Will your book have pictures, tables, drawings, figures, or any other types of illustrations? Now is the time to sort those out. You&#8217;ll either have to find or create any graphics you&#8217;d like to include in your book and get permissions for anything you didn&#8217;t create.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Images Will You Include?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I started by going through my manuscript and making a list of all of the visuals I wanted to create or use in my book. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Agile-Discovery-Delivery-Engineers-Entrepreneurs\/dp\/B0CDK1VD46\/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;qid=1696198860&amp;sr=8-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">My book<\/a> was written after a series of lectures I&#8217;d already given, so I had a good idea of where visuals would be helpful. If you&#8217;re not sure, ask your beta readers or editor which parts of your book could use a picture or which were confusing without one. If you have an important message and want your readers to remember it, an image is a good way to underscore your point. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once I had my list, I went through the entries with a fine-tooth comb and decided whether I absolutely needed to use that graphic or not. Did it help clarify a point I was making? Would a picture help the reader remember my point? Did the picture help support an anecdote? I knew I would either have to track down the permissions for each and every visual I used or pay a graphic designer to create it. So, this part &#8211; reducing my images &#8211; was really important. <strong>Visuals take time and\/or money to produce so make sure the ones you pick count.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Black &amp; White or Color?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At this point, it&#8217;s also a good idea to decide whether your pictures will appear in black and white or color. Printing a book in color is a lot more expensive. Sure, you can charge more, but if you don&#8217;t really need the color, then it&#8217;s much better to make all of your graphics black and white. Your profit margin will thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Creating Your Own Images<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have some talent as a graphic designer, then you&#8217;re in luck! You might be able to create your graphics yourself. I am not a graphic designer, so I had to go out and find one. If you are creating your own graphics, make sure you adhere to your publishing platform&#8217;s guidelines (Amazon&#8217;s KDP guidelines are <a href=\"https:\/\/kdp.amazon.com\/en_US\/help\/topic\/G202169030\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>). At the very least, you will need flattened images that are 300 DPI (dots per inch) to ensure your images are clear once they are printed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finding a Graphic Designer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just like the editing professionals, you can source a good graphic designer for your book almost anywhere. I see them on a lot of freelance platforms like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiverr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fivrr<\/a> and you may have connections already who have graphic design experience. Mine was recommended to me by a colleague in my writing group and she worked out amazingly well. She ended up charging me $50\/hour and created seven images for me for a total of around $500. I feel like she was probably on the more inexpensive side. She was working as a graphic designer for a major retailer in New York, so she had a good portfolio to show me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I had her start with two images for me, just to make sure I liked her work. Once they came back and looked fabulous, I unleashed her on the other images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Working With a Graphic Designer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each Graphic Designer will have their own preferences. With mine, I sent her a few details of what I wanted that usually included a hand-drawn version of it, color considerations, and perhaps a few examples that I found online that were similar to what I wanted. I tried to be as clear as possible. She would ask questions, then let me know when I could expect the first draft. We might go back and forth with tweaks a few times, but I usually had my images in a week or two. She&#8217;d invoice me at the end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I absolutely loved outsourcing this part of the book. Not only did I get a high-quality image that didn&#8217;t appear anywhere else, but I was then able to focus on other parts of my book while the pictures got done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Asking for Permissions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ll need to get explicit permission to use an image that you didn&#8217;t create. You&#8217;ll also need permission to paraphrase a decent chunk of someone else&#8217;s work. This section may not apply to you if you are, for instance, writing a novel of your own creation. For those of us in the non-fiction space, however, permissions are an important consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Do You Need Permission?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don&#8217;t need permission if the work is in the public domain or has a creative commons license that states you can publish the image or work for your specific purposes. Read the license carefully. Some licenses allow you to use the image <em>except<\/em> if you intend to make money from it. You also don&#8217;t need to get permission if you are simply quoting another&#8217;s work. Quote it and put an entry in your bibliography. The best rule of thumb I found was that if you paraphrase more than a paragraph&#8217;s worth of information, get permission. Then, of course, cite the work both in your text and in your bibliography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting Permission<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re paraphrasing a book, many times there will be contact information for the publisher on the copyright page. You can reach out to them for permissions. If there isn&#8217;t contact information or you&#8217;re paraphrasing something else like a blog post, you can reach out directly to the author. If they have a website, they generally will have contact information on the website. Maybe they own a company and you can reach out to their communications department. Finally, I found a lot of my contacts via LinkedIn. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a> will often give away a free month of their Premium membership. That membership level allows you to reach out to anyone, not just those in your network. I always save those offers for a time where I need to use them. It worked really well for reaching out to authors to get permissions for my book. Sometimes you&#8217;ll have a mutual connection already and can leverage them for an introduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Ask Permission<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would always reach out with a little context and why I was hoping to use the creator&#8217;s work. For example, this was one of my inquiries:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Hi Jake &#8211; I teach an agile-focused Computer Science Capstone course at UW-Madison and am writing a book that mirrors the course. In it, I have a short section on google design sprints and I mention your book and the methodology. (We actually run a Google Design Sprint in the class!) I was wondering if it would be OK to publish one or more of the\u00a0following graphics along with the book. I will, of course, give full credit to you. Please let me know if it&#8217;s ok to do so or if you&#8217;d like me to inquire elsewhere! Here&#8217;s a bit more about the project:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amberrfield.com\/staging\/1483\/books\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/amberrfield.com\/staging\/1483\/books\/<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this case, I&#8217;m writing to Jake Knapp who wrote the book, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesprintbook.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sprint: How to Solve Big Problems and Test New Ideas in Just Five Days<\/a><\/em>. With a tiny bit of googling, I&#8217;d found his direct email address. Not only did he respond quickly, he mentioned that his co-author, John Zeratzsky, now lives in Milwaukee and urged me to reach out. One of my favorite things about the permissions process was connecting with some of my heroes who I&#8217;d been following for years (like Jake and Henrik Kniberg).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of my favorite things about the permissions process was connecting with some of my heroes who I&#8217;d been following for years (like Jake and Henrik Kniberg). <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This was an unexpected, yet amazing side-effect of finally writing my book!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Illustration Credits &amp; Bibliography<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have permission, you should cite that in your bibliography (more on that in a future post). I also have an Image Credits page at the back of my book. There, I listed the creators of all of my images and who gave me permission to use them. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Chapter 2: The Self-Selection Process was crated by Nomad8 &amp; Sandy Mamoli, 2016. Permission granted for use by David Mole. https:\/\/nomad8.com\/articles\/self-selection-on-a-page.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What If You Don&#8217;t Get Permission?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is such a relief when you finally hear back from everyone you need permission from. However, there were a few people who I didn&#8217;t hear back from. For those images, I either reasoned that I could take them out or created something that turned out to be better. I had one major section on Lean Start-up that I was really hoping to use. I was lucky enough to get Eric Ries&#8217; company to grant me permission. Even if I hadn&#8217;t, there were still ways to make the book work (i.e. mention the book quickly and then focus on other methodologies like Design Thinking).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The process of getting permission can take quite a bit of time. You have to find contact information for everyone, reach out, then wait. It&#8217;s best to start this a few months before you publish as well. Perhaps even during the editing process if you can spare the time. In the end, I found the image &amp; permissions part of writing the book to be a fun and fulfilling one. I hope you do too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getting book images &#038; permissions may not apply to every book, but it&#8217;s important part of the process, especially for non-fiction books.
