Hi,

A book publisher is interested in using some of my photos for the cover of their books. I would like to know how are this kind of photo use priced. Is it dependent on whether the book is hard cover or soft cover? Whether it is a fiction, mystery, translated books, etc? # of books published?

I would also like to know how the licensing or terms of usage works. Any info would be helpful.

Thanks!

Thanks for the site.

My photos are not for magazine use, just for the cover of a book, I think it is more like stock photo rather than editorial, isn't it?
