Hi Guys
I have a friend who wants to submit her Tarot deck to a publisher but needs some advice on something first, it has taken her a long time to finish her creation and she decided to take on a book illustrator to help develop her ideas for a hand book to accompany the set of cards.
Now that everything has been created and finished her relationship with the illustrator have now disintegrated and they are barely on speaking terms they had a falling out over something but it was not relating to their work? my friend wants to go with a certain book publisher that are also interested in printing Tarot, she thinks her illustrator friend might not let her use what he has done for her even though it was a joint effort with both ideas and it was her card images illustrated in the book.
Can someone with experience about publishing explain what my friend should do for the best should she just submit her deck proposal, or does she have the right to use what was equally her idea for the book as well?
Thank you
