[Hidden-tech] Request for Article Value

[Ron Miller]

Tough decision, but from a professional standpoint, it does make you  
look good to be published in an anthology in this fashion and it  
extends your own personal brand. That said, did they ask to use it  
for free? If not,  don't make an assumption. Instead, write them a  
nice note thanking them for thinking of you and ask how much you'll   
be compensated.
