Permissions is a grant of rights for your use of an excerpt from copyrighted material that you intend to use in another work. Examples of this include: a short quotation / passage, poem, chart, short story, etc. from an Alight publication that you wish to use in: another book or publication, corporate newsletter, curriculum (as photocopies) for classroom use and more. Requests to use material from adult trade books, features or articles published by Alight USA are handled by our Contracts, Copyrights and Permissions Department. Written permission is required to reprint or reproduce any material published by Alight.
Before submitting your request, please examine the Alight book or publication, including the copyright and acknowledgement page(s). If the book is an anthology or a collection of various authors' works, review the copyright and acknowledgement page(s), as well as the front and back matter to locate the information pertaining to the original source of the material—and direct your request to that party. If the book is a paperback, check the copyright page carefully; if the copyright page indicates the paperback was published by arrangement with another publisher, you will need to request permission from the original (hardcover) publisher.
Please include the following with your written request:

NOTE: In the event Alight distributes books for another publisher(s), permission to reprint from these books must be obtained from the actual publisher, rather than Alight. Before submitting a request, please check to see if the material to be used is credited to another source. If this is the case, permission must be obtained from the credited source rather than from Alight. Credits may appear with the material, in a separate acknowledgments section at the beginning or end of the chapter in which the material appears; or in a separate acknowledgments section in the front or the back or the book.
All requests, however received are handled in chronological order. Titles requiring staff research may take extended times to process. More common titles should be handled in a shorter time frame. All contracts require original signatures and are sent out via regular mail.

* We prefer you have a publisher before we consider your request. If you do not have a publisher for your book, please do not apply for permission at this time. Granting permission requires full publishing details. Once you have a signed contract with a publisher, we will be better able to handle your permissions request.
