Guidelines for Merchandise

Here are some guidelines to clarify and streamline my approach to the sale of artwork and merchandise based on my novels.

Note from the Author

I (Marvellous Michael Anson) am the owner of the intellectual property that I have created. All individuals or corporations are required to have my permission to use my name and intellectual property to sell merchandise.

That said, I strongly support artists and sellers of merchandise in the bookish community, so if you would like to partner with to me on the creation of items based on or influenced by my intellectual property please use the contact form to reach out to me. I partner with collaborators on the following items:

  • Candles

  • Art Prints (excluding dust jackets or posters sized as dust jackets. See below.)

  • Quote Art (Less than two sentences ONLY)

  • Soap or other personal products

  • Bookmarks

  • Pins

  • Patches

  • Key chains

  • Stickers

  • Pens/pencils

  • Wearables (shirts, etc.)

  • Drinkware

  • Totes

  • Book sleeves

  • Funkos and plushies

 

Artists and vendors wishing to sell alternative dust jackets or posters sized as dust jackets MUST email my agents, Ciara Finan or Flo Sandelson for permission, and standard royalty rates will apply.

 

Artists and vendors wishing to sell items not included in the list of approved items above MUST email my agents, Ciara Finan or Flo Sandelson for permission, and standard royalty rates may apply.

 

I do NOT give permission for artists or vendors to use for the purposes of sale official cover artwork, official character artwork, official maps, official logos, book interior designs, or excerpts longer than two complete sentences. Takedown notices will be issued to anyone found using these materials for profit.

 

All artwork should be entirely original or use images licensed for commercial use. Until such time as copyright law becomes more clear, I do NOT grant license to individuals using computer generated (Ai) artwork. Takedown notice will be issued to individuals found in violation of these terms.

 

I (Marvellous Michael Anson) have a firm policy of not working with or endorsing any artists or vendors who engage in hateful or harmful behavior. If I discover any artist or vendor using my intellectual property in a way that I (Marvellous Michael Anson) deem hateful or harmful, a takedown notice will be issued.
