This week I’m answering several questions about copyrighted images and using them in your books. These are questions that came from a blog reader about a book that’s she helping publish for a nonprofit.
I do digress at one point to tell a copyright story that just happened to me, and the video finishes with some advice about using images you find on the web.
If you have a question you’d like me to address next week, leave it in the comments. (If you can’t see the video, please reload or refresh the page.)
Discussed in this video:
- Having more than one copyright notice on the copyright page
- Recto and verso pages and how to tell one from the other
- How copyright law protects content creators
- Copyrighting images in a book
- Do you need a copyright on every page?
Additional resources:

Copyright page samples you can copy and paste into your book

thank you Joel for your information, it has helped me very much.
I am trying to put my own book in a word formate to be printed. It is a funny diet book, and I can’t wait to get it finished. I have wrote to soldiers songs for our heros. You can view them on my website.
Thank You again Judy S

Thanks, Dana. For a lifelong “print” guy, I’ve really been enjoying learning to make these videos.
