Well, I called them back, told them I'd been reading some surveys, talkign to other writers, etc. and that because they wanted to have it available in perpetuity, my best shot would have to be $1 per word, which would be over $1200.

She told me they didn't mean in perpetuity, that the plan is for up to 5 years. (Funny 'cause their letter says they can't track individual items, so ask that there not be a condition of time.) She also said they will not include anything priced over $500.

So, I may be a fool, but I told her I'd go for it for $500, plus an agreement to renegotiate IF they continue to use it after five years, which she said would get by them okay.

Thanks very much and I'll let you know how it turns out! Maybe this will help finance a Getaway trip!
