⚠️ Do You Really Own Your Book Cover? 4 Copyright Mistakes to Avoid

Have you paid hundreds—or even thousands—of dollars for your book cover… but don’t actually own it? Most authors don’t realize their cover designer may hold the copyright—even if they paid for it. Add in unlicensed stock images, AI art, or fonts pulled from Pinterest, and you could be risking a lawsuit or a cease-and-desist without even knowing it. In this video, Julie the Book Broad, founder of Book Launchers, breaks down the 4 biggest copyright mistakes nonfiction authors make with their book covers and shows you how to protect yourself from legal and branding disasters. You’ll learn: ✔ Why you may not own your cover (even if you paid for it) ✔ How stock art licenses actually work—and when you need an upgrade ✔ The hidden risks of AI-generated covers ✔ Why fonts can land you in trouble (and how to license them properly) Want support while writing your nonfiction book?
