Hello everyone!
Well I'll just jump right in here with my question - I am having a ball reading through everyone's posts - but keen to hear everyone's thought on my problem.
I am writing a non-fiction book for mothers. In it, I hope to use anonymous "stories" from a couple women that I have interviewed (and many more I am yet to interview) to give the book a "human touch" and base it solidly in real life events and reality.
My question is this - should I be paying these "contributors"? If I am to go on the "recruitment rampage" for more women's stories/tales, should I be offering a fee for their involvement? How much? What if I don't use their story in the book?
Any advice (or direction) would be most appreciated!
