Kudos

Hi, Richard,
I’m very pleased with both the ebook and my subscription to The Write Markets Report. In fact, I’ve been really happy with all Booklocker.com purchases. You and Angela do an outstanding job, and I have to admit that even though she has absolutely no idea who I am, I still consider her to be my own personal mentor. WritersWeekly is an invaluable resource and I have learned a tremendous amount! Also, what I’ve read of her personal life and the obstacles she overcame in the past is truly an inspiration.
Thanks again for the follow-up on my recent order, and my prayers go out to your family for continued success and happiness!
Sincerely,
Lori McKenzie

Can You Quote Speeches?

Published on March 3, 2004

Thanks for the info on the songs. How about quotes from speeches? Does the same rule apply if I use a famous quote from a person who is still alive? Thank you.

You can quote people briefly (note how the newspapers quote speeches liberally). However, you may encounter trouble if you use someone’s quotes to make a point in your article that is NOT about the speech itself. If you make it appear the person is somehow endorsing your ideas in your article, that could get you into trouble if they have not given their permission for you to use their words in that context.
