[edit] Author photo permission letter

Dear AUTHOR,

I am writing to ask about using a photograph of you to illustrate your author page on LibraryThing (http://www.librarything.com).

LibraryThing is a website that allows people to catalogue their personal libraries, discover new books and connect with others who share their tastes. It is an open, collaborative project, driven by readers like me.

Every author with a book catalogued on LibraryThing has an author page. Many of these include photographs or other images of the author.

Here's your author page: http://www.librarything.com/author/lastnamefirstname

There is a photograph of you at LOCATION_HERE that I would like to upload to LibraryThing. Would you be willing to give me permission to do so? I will, of course, include any credit or copyright notice that you require.

I can also post links to your homepage, blog, interviews and articles, if you'd like.

Thank you for your time!

Sincerely, YOUR NAME

PS: If you're interested, you can join LibraryThing as a "LibraryThing Author," showcasing some of your personal books for interested readers. Find out more at http://www.librarything.com/librarything_author.php]
