Rights - Permissions

Palgrave Macmillan permissions are handled by rights@palgrave.com

Permissions Forms

Contacts

Please note, we only deal with permission requests for Palgrave books and journals (inc.those published previously under Macmillan Press). Please see below for other contacts within the Macmillan group.

Please contact rights@palgrave.com if you are unsure which division the book in question belongs to. N.B. It is your responsibility to check whether the material you wish to use is acknowledged to a third party, as we do not have copies of all publications in the office.

Response Time

Please be advised that administration of permissions requests can take some time. We aim to respond within 3 weeks of a request, but during busy periods it may take longer. It is therefore advisable to allow at least 4 weeks to obtain permission. We will try and deal with requests more quickly if this exceeds your print date, but please mark the date permission is required by on your request.

Small Extracts

Generally you do not require permission for items considered to be within convention of Fair Dealing, that is:

One extract of less than 400 words or a series of extracts from the same Work up to a total of 800 words of which no single extract should be more than 300 words.

However you should ensure that a full acknowledgement is given to the author, title publisher and year of publication (as per copyright page). For some works, particularly those of important historic or literary value, we will want to consider all cases of re-use, even those where only a few words are quoted. Please contact us to clarify whether permission is required in such cases.

Payment

Palgrave Macmillan usually charges for use of its material, these charges will depend on how and where it is going to be used.

If permission is granted you will receive a letter of terms and conditions as well as an invoice for use of material. This should be paid promptly.

Please fill in the permissions form and either print out and e-mail/fax/post to The Rights Department (click here for address details).

NB: PLEASE ADVISE IF YOU ONLY REQUIRE A QUOTE.

Please note that you must complete parts 1, 2 and 3 to enable us to process the permissions request, if these parts are not completed your request will not be processed. If you are sending a duplicate request, please indicate this on the form.
