I will usually go with a company like Corbis and they usually charge from 3 00 to 350 a piece for a photo that is a spot to one quarter of the page. If you want a photo that takes up the whole page... well... I'm not sure how high the price on that would be. I illustrate my books but if I were going to be using all photographs you can imagine how costly things could get. I could lose my whole advance!

 Non-fiction challenges
 

Hi,

I am comparatively new tothe list, and have really enjoyed this month's discussion on non-fiction. Heather Montgomery brought up some great questions as ways of evaluating an d improving informational books, as well as the subject of  illustration/ photos.  I want to combine her questions with a point brought up in a Dec . 31st blog by Marc Aronson on his Non-Fiction Matters over at SLJ. And tha t is the high cost of archival photos which limits the quality of images av ailable to authors, which can have a huge impact on the quality of a book. Here is a list of the costs I have recently been quoted for images by Time Inc. Time does not even hold the rights to the images. They simply have cop ies and the ability to supply them.  

Print run of 5000- $500.00USD Print run of 10,000- $750.00 USD Print run of 15,000- $900.00 USD Including a fee for supply of images: $300.00 USD

I apologize, if this is not the place to bring up an issue like this. It is a criti cal issue for non-fiction authors.

Thank you,

Mary Cronk Farrell
