Do you get them yourself or does the publishers get them? For photos. For example, a famous sports photo. Would I have to supply copyright info or would the publishers do that for me? Also how do non-fiction works’ sources get cited? Author or publisher?
I should’ve said obtain copyrights. I have no idea about writing books. It’s just an idea I have. I’m not going to start anything until I have more information on these kinds of things.

I’m revising an essay I wrote about the novel Into the Wild and Chris McCandless’s life. On my paper my teacher wrote “Write in present tense when doing an analysis.”

But that confuses me. It seems improper to put “Chris McCandless believes..” instead of “believed” especially considering he’s dead now.

I thought you were supposed to use past tense for biographical information?

Thank you
