Walter - also, you might want to specify "Single use"
Good luck!

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
