APPLYING FOR © COPYRIGHT PERMISSION
Bloodaxe Books controls and asserts intellectual property rights for all poets it publishes according to © International Copyright Law (Berne Convention 1886; UCC, 1952; Geneva, 1996). This establishes the right of the author to be recognised as the creator of the work, prevents derogatory changes to the work, and supports their economic right to receive fair reward for use of that work by others.
Our standard minimum fee for use of a poem (1-10 lines) – as set by The Society of Authors in 2005 – is £60, and this rises line by line, and also depending on the range of distribution territory. However, this is negotiable for low print runs, educational purposes and good causes.
