How to request permission to use material from Random House
How to request permission to use material from Random House
Please take the time to examine the book, including the copyright and acknowledgement page(s).
If your source is an anthology or a collection of various authors' works, you must review the copyright, acknowledgement page(s), the front matter, and the back matter to locate the information pertaining to the original source of the material in the book which you wish to copy. Your request should be directed to that party.
If the book is a paperback, please check the copyright page carefully to see if it contains information indicating that the paperback was published by arrangement with another publisher. In most cases you will need to apply to the original hardcover publisher for permission.
Since many requests require research, please submit your request as early as possible. It takes approximately 3-5 weeks to receive a written response to your request.
Your request should be as complete as possible. Please provide the following information:
- Title and author of the book from which you wish to reprint
- The imprint (Random House, Knopf, Broadway, Dell, etc.)
- ISBN (the number which appears on the back cover above the bar code)
- The exact material you wish to reprint. Please provide copies of our material in context as well as the page numbers on which this material appears in our book.
- Title and publisher of your book, proposed date of publication, price and print run, format (hardcover, softcover, E-book, etc).
- Territories of distribution for which you require permission (US, US and Canada, world, etc.)
- A self-addressed stamped envelope would be appreciated
For non-academic photocopy requests, please indicate which pages from our book you would like to copy and how many copies you would like to make.
For your convenience, we have created a form to be filled out and submitted by mail or fax for your individual permission request.
