I'm wanting to use a quote from another author's work, I want to use it in my 1st work, how do I contact them?

Question

I'm writing my 1st time YA book.

What do you think of my chance of getting permission as compare to when others like myself who might want to do the same in getting permission from them or any other established author?

If you are an author and a request has come to you like I'm suggesting here what was your response to it?

Answer 1

All you need to do for it to be legal is to give credit to the person who wrote it and not to make something that they wrote from being good to being bad

just say this was writen by bob in his book bob the bilder

Answer 2

You should contact the author through the publisher.

Answer 3

Now that you aren't worried about that, let the creativity flow!
