I need a map to put into a fiction book I am writing. The map is to be a map of the ancient world, about 50 BC, with special attention to the Roman Empire at that time.
I want my readers to be able to refer to the map and see where the city or town or region is that I am writing about at that point: like Epirus, Rhodes, Alexandria, Antioch, etc, Parthia, Carthage, etc. I will give whoever takes this job a list of places that I would definitely want situated on the map. I have been using maps taken from history books and from the internet as references while writing the book, but I need to own my own map to put into my book.
I would want a hard copy of the map and in addition I would need the map in digital format(s) that would be acceptable to the main digital readers like Kindle, Nook, ireader, etc.
Hello,
I've been working as a cartographer for a couple of years after completing a GIS Specialist certificate. Your project looks very interesting and I would love to work on it because it combines my interests in history and cartography. I studied classical archaeology in university.
Since you want a map showing the world in 50 BC, there would be some research involved to accurately show the empires of that era.
I will use open source data so there will be no copyright issues for your book. I can provide you with 300 or 600dpi cmyk pdf files suitable for printing, and slightly lower resolution pdfs or jpgs for the ereaders. The pdf format is good for the Kindle and the Nook; I would have to look into the ireader to see what formats are required. I expect most ereaders would accept similar formats.
I have created several political and physical maps of different continents and countries, and have also done some simple grayscale maps for publication, which you can see in my portfolio. If you choose to award me the project we can discuss the look of your map, and the size of map you want for your book.
Please contact me if you have any questions about my experience or portfolio. I look forward to discussing this project with you.
Thanks,
Julie Witmer
