[stylist] Critiquing question- quoting other sources

[Barbara Hammel]

I'm hoping there's someone else here who could answer that more quickly, but 
I'd bet that Lori knows the answer to that.

Subject: [stylist] Critiquing question- quoting other sources

Hey you all, need your input:



Bob Gardner, one of our members who is not on STYLIST has a question for us.
he is doing a critique of a draft of a book, this is for a person who is
paying us for this service --- recall our Sept. up to the end of December
fund raiser, our critique service?



Here is what he writes:



I have a question.  The author quotes many long passages from other articles
and books in her manuscript.  I have no experience with the legalities of
doing that.  Do you know how much freedom a writer has to quote material
from other sources?  Is permission required from someone?  Is there someone
within the Writers' Division who is knowledgeable on this?
