Hello everyone!

I am a first time Indie Author who is looking for an artist to make a map for my fantasy book. I can give you a scan of a hand drawn map that I made, but I'm just trying to get an idea of how much a map will cost. I'm trying to figure out how much this book is going to cost me (editor, cover art, map etc...) to publish.

I have two finished books and am currently writing the third in the series of which there will be four when completed. I will need to use your map for all four books and probably will be requesting one or two more for other books in the series.

As far as the copyright is concerned, like I said, I'm new to this so I'm not sure exactly what I will need. Like I stated earlier, I will need to use the same map in all four books. I do not know if I will need to buy the copyright or if you, the artist, can retain the copyright.

The style of the map I'd like is a beautiful fantasy style that looks "old"...if that makes any sense. I'm sorry if I'm not being exact enough.

The time table on this is about 6 months out, so it's not very time sensitive.

Anyway, if someone would like to take on this project please let me know. My name is Melissa and if it's easier you can e-mail me directly at RMBeckwith87@yahoo.com (sorry if that's not allowed...)

Thank you for your time and have a wonderful weekend.

Melissa
