Hello, an article I wrote for a magazine is being sought for inclusion in a textbook. It's a short article (an interview), and the textbook will be 700+ pages, with a printing of 3,000 copies, selling for $50. They ask what I want for the reprint rights, and I have absolutely no idea what to ask. Does anyone have any thoughts? Thanks.

I cannot say what the going rate is, but something similar happened to me. I asked for $500, and they negotiated the rate down to $400. I don't know what the response would have been if I had asked for more.
