This section deals with extract permissions and photograph permissions.

Extract Permissions

We receive many requests to reproduce extracts from works by our clients in works written or edited by other authors. These are generally described as "permissions". The permission fees below represent our current rates. Our rates have increased as of 1st January 2005, but this is the first increase in five and a half years. There is a minimum fee of £57.50, where a fee is charged.

You may apply for permission on this website or by post (addressed to the Permissions Department, A P Watt Ltd, 20 John Street, London WC1N 2DR), fax (020 7831 2154) or email (apw@apwatt.co.uk). Regrettably, however, we cannot accept telephone enquiries about permissions. Please note that we get several thousand permission requests a year and although all requests are dealt with as speedily as possible, it is important to apply as far ahead of your deadline as you can.

These notes do not apply to permission to reproduce extracts on radio, film or television - for those apply to the Media Department at A P Watt.

Permission fees

There are two scales, for major and minor writers. Since nearly all of our authors for whom permission is sought fall into the first category, only those fees are reproduced below.

The current fees for major world English language (WEL) rights are as follows:-

Prose: £168 per thousand words
Poetry: £138 for up to 10 lines, £2.60 per line for the next 20 lines and £1.70 per line thereafter
(if more than one poem is used, the fee for each poem is calculated separately)

The fees are naturally smaller if the territory sought is less than World English language:

World excluding USA: 60% of WEL
US + Canada: two-thirds of WEL
World excluding USA and Canada: 55% of WEL
USA or Europe: 50% of WEL
British Commonwealth including Canada: 50% of WEL
British Commonwealth excluding Canada: 45% of WEL
Major individual country or language other than English: 25% of WEL
Australasia or UK: one-third of WEL

The fees are increased by 50% for each additional edition (eg paperback, bookclub, audio cassette) and are reduced by 50% for scholarly works where printings are 1,000 copies or less. The fees for electronic rights (if we grant them) are higher. Photocopying is charged at 12p per page per copy.


Fair dealing

Limited extracts may be used free of charge providing correct attribution and acknowledgement is given if the work in which the extract is to appear is published for the purpose of criticism or review and if the extract falls into the following categories:-
prose: a single extract of up to 400 words or series of extracts, none exceeding 300 words, totalling 800 words
poetry: up to 40 lines providing no more than a quarter of the poem is used (if more than one poem, add up individual lines)

Please note that biographies do not generally fall into this category, and fair dealing does not apply to anthologies, musical settings or unpublished works.

How to tell if the work you wish to reproduce is likely to be in copyright

Please note: these notes are rough guidelines only and cannot cover all scenarios, especially about the period for unpublished and posthumous works and for authors who died more than 50 but less than 70 years ago. In all cases, works published posthumously are likely to be in copyright and unpublished works remain in copyright after the author's death and any references to copyright periods are to be calculated from the end of the year of the author’s death. If you have any doubts, please check with A P Watt to see if permission is required.

a) UK, Australia (and most of Europe)

b) Spain

c) USA

d) Canada, New Zealand, South Africa
