Thank, Paul.
I've responded to them accordingly. Now, all I need is some good ol'
PDML finger-crossing action.

I would estimate that $50 per shot would be the max for book usage. Very few
pay more for a part-page photo. Many pay less. In any case, specify usage as
first North American rights. That way you retain ownership and can sell them
again if someone else sees them and wants to use them.

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
