Hi all,
I just got an email from the senior editor of a publishing house
(Hachette Book Group in NY) stating some interest in possibly using some
of the photos I took at the local political rallies at the end of
October. She wrote asking for copies of three particular images, with
the possibility of using others and asked how much it would cost to use
them in an upcoming book. Given the fact that I'm a babe in the woods
when it comes to this sort of thing, I thought I'd pick the brains of
those of you who've had some experience in this arena.
I've already put in a call to an attorney friend to see if he had any
guidance on dealing with this (he was in conference and is supposed to
call me back). Now, I just need to know how to get a fair price out of
my work. They she said she's not "certain" that they'd use them, but
would like to consider them. I certainly don't want to give them any
reason not to use them by overshooting on the price, but at the same
time, I don't want to take less than I can get from what appears to be a
fairly large publishing house.
So, what should I do? I don't know if it makes any difference, but the
shots are being considered for a book being (ghost?) written by (for?) a
newly elected senator about the grassroots movement that got him
elected. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated on this.
Thanks!
Walt
