You can always sound out the writers whose work you want to use, let them know you have a publisher interested in the work and find out what it will take for the writer to allow you to use a reprint. It may mean that some works will be financially unfeasible to include, but at least you will know from the start. QUOTE]
Thanks, All,
That's one of the reasons why I want to be very careful, especially since I wouldn't want that to happen to me. I started thinking twice before sending my family stuff because they have a habit of sending things in group emails that I intended just for family.
By the way, what I'm looking for is squeaky, clean comedy, articles, jokes, or oneliners that reflect around life, work, home, marriage, kids, etc. and if any of you want to share yours with me and let me know what it would take for you to allow me to use a reprint, I could take it before the publisher as well. I think that's a good idea, batyler65.
Let me know what you guys think.
