Rights & Permissions

Rights travel too

We handle translation rights, reprint permissions, licensing and adaptation enquiries for POL titles — and we answer every serious enquiry personally.

§1What We Handle

Four kinds of enquiry

01

Translation rights

For publishers abroad interested in translating POL titles into other languages — and for partners bringing other literatures into English with us.

02

Reprint & anthology permissions

Requests to reproduce extracts, poems, stories or chapters in anthologies, course readers, journals and other publications.

03

Audio, film & adaptation

Enquiries concerning audio editions, broadcast, stage and screen adaptation of POL works.

04

Territorial & co-edition licensing

Licensing for specific territories and languages, and co-edition partnerships with publishers who share our standards.

§2Make an Enquiry

Tell us what you need

Include the title (where known), the rights you are seeking, the language and territory, and your timetable. We reply to every rights enquiry.
