Please contact them directly rather than contacting Hachette UK if you have any queries about their products, subscriptions or customer service. You can find their contact details at https://hachettepartworks.com/home/contact.

Please visit the Hachette UK Distribution website for customer service enquiries.

Submissions

The Future Bookshelf is our open submissions platform for writers from underrepresented communities. We open submissions to everyone, but it’s also a community for writers to get advice and guidance from editors, agents and other authors.

Outside of this, we only accept submissions sent to us by an agent – we don’t accept any unsolicited material. If you’re seeking an agent, The Writers’ and Artists’ Yearbook (published by A & C Black) and The Writer’s Handbook (published by Macmillan) contain the addresses of all UK literary agents. You can also find UK agents’ contact details on the writersservices.com website, as provided by The Writer’s Handbook.

We accept no responsibility for proposals sent to us.

Permissions

Permissions requests for all divisions except Bookouture must be made using the PLS Clear tool.

Please start by searching for the ISBN or title in the PLS widget below or go to www.plsclear.com, then complete the form with all the necessary information.

Permissions requests currently have a processing time of between four and six weeks, so please apply in good time. The process may take longer depending on the complexity of the request and any difficulties incurred whilst tracing records. We ask you to be patient during this process and to avoid sending repeated requests for information once you have received confirmation of receipt of your request form.

Illustrations and Photograph requests

Permission to reproduce illustrations/photographs from our books should be obtained from the photographer or illustrator, apart from illustrations from children’s books for which you will need to apply for permission through PLS Clear. For non-children’s books, please check the copyright for the image you wish to use by looking at the acknowledgements, credits or copyright page in the book, and seek permission from the cited party. For requests to reproduce the cover image of one of our books, please ensure that it is our edition before submitting a PLS Clear request.

Translation of the Entire Work

If you would like to reproduce or translate the entire text of a work, please contact our Rights department.

Copyright

Copyright expires 70 years after the death of the author. If the copyright has expired, permission is not required to reproduce the text.

NIV Bible requests

Text from the NIV Bible may be quoted in any form (written, visual, electronic, or audio), up to and inclusive of 500 verses or less without written permission, providing the verses quoted do not amount to a complete book of the Bible, nor do verses quoted account for 25% or more of the total text of the work in which they are quoted, and the verses are not being quoted in a commentary or other biblical reference work. If an entire book of the Bible is being reproduced, regardless of verse count, written permission is required. This permission is contingent upon an appropriate copyright acknowledgment. Requests to quote from the NIV text in printed or electronic media intended for commercial use within the UK, EU, EFTA countries that exceed the above guidelines should be submitted via PLS Clear. If your request is for use in the US and Canada your request should be directed to Zondervan.

CLA

For classroom use in UK schools, colleges and universities, licences for copying and sharing extracts from published works are available from the Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA). The CLA is a UK collective licensing body that ensures fair value for creators and rightsholders when their content is used. For more information please contact CLA.
