Apologies all, had meant to send this directly to Leah (must be the end of the day!).

Hi Leah
How are you? It’s nice to have an excuse to get in touch, even if it’s over fees!
Please find our fees attached, which were updated in 2015. The original document was created in 2012 after a lot of research. Just had a chat with Martin about this, and
he feels that we might be charging too little again. He expects people to negotiate fees (we send a quote and say something like ‘we are happy to discuss fees’) – everyone negotiates with me and I often offer a discount for educational use and if they are
sending us a copy of the book afterwards. For local self-published books where there is a clear local benefit and they are unlikely to be making much money we either waive the fee or charge minimal, say £5 per image. A lot is done in discussion.
Would you be able to anonymously collate all the responses you have and share with SHCG – I’m sure lots of folks would find it useful – and if not could you send over
your new fees once they are agreed?
What have you been working on? Martin and I are building up to next summer’s exhibition on toys and games – just been agreed to work with a computer games company for
a smaller exhibition in galleries 2 and 3.
Wishing you all the best
Ali

Hello all
I’m in the process of reviewing our reproduction fees for books, websites and television, as I think they’re currently too high and restrictive (or at least that’s what people are telling me when I quote them!). Would anyone be willing
to share their reproduction fees with me, so that I can compare?
Very grateful for any help
Many thanks
Leah
