Great idea to make a book about stock photos. Interesting enough this was posted on Janice’s wonderfully informative blog. Thanks for sharing Deb. ❤

I know I waste time sourcing images that are not only royalty free but don’t need crediting either, so I’m looking forward to exploring this book.

Deb, you can try pexels.com, lots of free photos there. I also use Photofunia.com, which allows you to put your own pictures in their pre-made memes. 🙂

Ooooh, MORE sites to investigate! I have a list of ‘free’ sites but those are both new to me 😀

Thanks for sharing this, Deb. I will definitely be checking this out. While I have my photographer all set for my Florida series, and am thrilled to be working with him and my graphic designer, my mountain series is a different story.
I’m guessing this is covered in the book, but just for those who aren’t aware of this, royalty free photo sites have to be checked closely. There is often some fine print that says while the photos are royalty free for blogs, etc, they are NOT royalty free for cover design, or any other money making endeavor. Just one thing to be sure to double check on. (Hopefully, the book specifies which sites are which.)
Thanks again, Deb. You share so much with us, and it’s all appreciated!

Well clarified – ‘royalty free’ is not as simple as it sounds. Come to think of it, I didn’t even understand what it mean when I started out – I just wanted ‘free’!

Free is good! I like Free, too. Unless it leads to a law suit! 😀 I did learn that these sites each have their own set of rules about what their images may and may not be used for. There are those you can legitimately use on book covers, and those you can’t. But if people will just remember to read the FINE PRINT, they should be okay. And I think any book that points you toward images is a good thing! 🙂
