danlegere Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 <p>I licensed an image of mine to a textbook a couple years ago. It was $500 for a print run of 150,000, unit price of $147, one edition.<br><br />They have contacted me again about permission and price to use in a new edition of the textbook, but this time it's 200,000 and unit price $235.</p><p>Do you charge less for re-use for a new edition of the same book? What would you charge for re-use, considering the print run and unit price is a bit higher?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony_clark Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I would ask for $500 but settle for $375. They have the file and it would require no effort on your part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis_vener_photography Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Textbook publishers are notorious for using photos for more copies than the usage they negotiate for, sometimes in other textbooks than they contract for, and then there are undeclared digital uses. That is the dirty truth. What to do? Register the copyright on the image and start the negotiations substantially higher than their initial offer.
