[Hidden-tech] Request for Article Value

[Shel Horowitz]

Christine,

I have gotten anywhere from zero to a few hundred dollars for reprint 
rights. Some of the zeroes have led to significant business; some 
have not. Look at print run, who's publishing, how they plan to 
market it, and make an informed decision.

I recommend writing back with something like...

Thank you for including me. could you please tellme your reprint fee, 
print run, and publisher.

If they write back that they weren't paying, yuou can look at other 
factors and decide if it's worth it--but you should insist on 
including the resource information that *you* select as a condition 
of use.

And follow David F.'s excellent advice about rights. You should 
provide one-time non-exclusive anthology rights. If they want 
exclusivity, they should pay real money.
