Thinking of Writing a Book?
Public-domain images aren’t just for covers — they’re powerful storytelling tools. This presentation shows writers how to use public-domain visual art for book covers, interior images, and as creative inspiration while writing fiction.

Focusing on Elizabethan England and Greek mythology, the session explores how engravings, woodcuts, paintings, and ancient art can shape atmosphere, character, and setting while grounding books in historically resonant imagery.

You’ll Learn
• How to verify truly public-domain artwork
• Where to find high-quality images
• Adapting historical art for genre and market appeal
• Using images to spark mood and scene detail
• Attribution and ethical reuse best practices

Using real examples, this talk connects creative craft with practical publishing — showing how centuries-old images can inspire vivid writing and professional design without copyright concerns.

Ideal for novelists, historical and mythic writers, indie authors, and small publishers.
