Last year I wrote an article on MySpace and posted it on my web site. I never really thought much more about it but last week I was contacted by a book publisher asking permission to include my article in a future book. I'm thrilled, excited, and honored. This book will be for educational purposes, controversial issues of the day, to be used as reference material in schools around the world but mostly the US and Canada. I will be paid $90 for this publication but they may want to use it in future publications, on their web site and other areas and I will be paid $90 each time as well as have my byline on the article. I’ve been writing online doing web content articles, e-books, and such for almost a year but all writing has been as a ghost writer so have not had ‘my name’ on anything except what is on my site. Is it silly of me to be so excited? Have you ever had someone contact you with a request like this – not like AC or CC where we are posting our articles but actually them finding you and asking to use your material? How did or would you feel about something like this happening to you? I would post link to the article but there has been so much plagerizing going on I'm not promoting it here. Private message me if you would like to read the article. Wed, 25 Apr 2007 09:59:42 GMT byfaithonly
