  • Public forum post

    Suppose one of my characters is a songwriter and I wanted him recite lyrics. I have zero skill in this but I came across a public forum where members were making up song lyrics on the fly. One member's post is exactly what I was looking for. Would you contact the member and offer something for it, in the event that the script did sell (even though it would be removed or changed later)?

    Don't make an immediate offer but just explain where and how you want to use the lyrics and ask for permission. If the writer wants a fee in addition to a credit then you can negotiate the fee. Make sure you keep a paper trail of all correspondence and that anything final is in writing.
