This is a new one to me. A major publisher has contacted me about a textbook that's going to be sold for about $100.
The publisher wants to reprint an article I published through an online magazine 9 years ago. The word count is close to 1,000 words.
I never submitted this article to be considered but here I am with a contract right in front of me that says they want to publish it in the textbook. I'm supposed to name a price and sign the permission request.
I've never had this happen before. I'm not sure what to charge for an article that's been online almost a decade.
What would you charge considering that the article's been published under first electronic rights, the book publisher's going to charge $100 for each copy of the book and the article's about 1,000 words?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
