I'm relatively new to the world of image sales and would like some guidance.
Here's the situation, I may have the opportunity to sell one of my images to a publisher, for cover use. The magazine has a circulation of ~1m and there may also be a spin off to sell fine art prints once the magazine is published.
Will the magazine want to buy the complete rights and limit my ability to sell prints, if so what would should I expect and avoid?
or,
Do I limit the image sale to magazine cover use only and sell prints myself, again what would one expect and avoid.
I'm not looking for monetary specifics, but rather an idea on typical size/quality/circulation of the publication scales. Are images price quantified in these terms?
The main reason I ask, is that back in June I sold the complete digital rights of three images for two years without any idea what I was doing. The money offered seemed good, but i've since learnt that I may have undersold myself.
Thanks in advance.
