[stylist] Preliminary Copyrights and Illustrators

[Donna Hill]

Hi fellow writers,

We just returned from a five-week RV trip  to California, Nevada and 
Arizona. I'm hoping to be more able to follow the list this year, as I 
am trying to do a better job of juggling my various priorities.

As some of you know, I've been working on a fantasy novel, which I would 
estimate is about two-thirds done. One of our neighbors heard about it 
and approached me about their adult daughter who is an artist. She's 
been a bit depressed about not having had the opportunity to go to 
college for her art. Her mother explained that she is a Harry Potter fan 
which would make my novel right up her alley, and that perhaps I would 
be interested in having her do some illustrations for my book. I'd llike 
to help her out, and I am certainly going to need some cover art at the 
very least. My question is: does anyone know anything about doing 
interum copyrights? In other words, I'd like the protection of the 
copyright before passing the book around, even though it isn't done.

Also, has anyone ever worked with illustrators? I'm sure including 
pictures in a book will add to the price, but I'm thinking that with 
computers and all, the additional cost may not be all that much.

Thanks,
Donna Hill
