This is very very premature and I shouldn't even post about it, since I have no idea if it will even happen, but I want you guys' opinion on something. Ok, so for my Computer Graphic Design class, we had to make a final project that encorporated Adobe Illustrater, InDesign, and Photoshop. I decided to do a coloring book....I Wartburg Coloring book, nonetheless. So I've been working on this coloring book for many hours now and it's almost done. But the reason for this post is a suggestion from my CGD prof. Upon hearing about my idea for a project, he said that the head of the Wartburg Alumni Dept. has been asking about a Wartburg Coloring book for children. This guy happens to be the uncle of one of my roommates. So I showed him some of my pages that I had done thus far and asked him what he thought. Well, he was pumped up about it and said for me to bring the finished product by his office this week and we would discuss it.
Now I'm super pumped because there's a possibility that this thing could get published and be in the bookstore. There's a slimer possibility that I could get some money out of this. Now, what my question is, in the off chance that money is offered to me, should I ask for a set sum of money or a percentage of whatever amount is sold? Keeping in mind, of course, how much a coloring book is sold for...which can't be that much.
So anyway, I know it's a huge assumption to make to think that I would get published or even get money for it....but I would like to have something in mind in case this guy asks me what I want....so yea.....just leave me a message on AIM. THANKS!
