I found a public domain book that has never been re-published and I wanted to include illustrations with the book. If I submit manuscripts to publishers, how can I protect my idea? What if they just use their own illustrator and take the book themselves from public domain? Is there anything I can copywrite? Or trademark? Such as, the authors name, the book title, or characters? I hope this makes sense and appreciate all the help with this.
