Rights Limitations

Due to either an expired copyright, or misdirected inquiry, we receive many requests that we simply cannot process. Please be aware that Crossroad does not hold rights in the following instances:

  • Out of Print Books: If a book has gone out of print with The Crossroad Publishing Company, then we no longer hold rights and cannot grant you permission to reprint material under any circumstance. In most cases, the rights revert back to the author or his/her estate. Please contact the current rights holder in order to acquire the necessary permission.
  • Previous Imprints: Please note that we do not hold the current copyright to any of the previous imprints that have been co-published by Crossroad, including Seabury Press, Meyer Stone, or Continuum Publications. Please contact these respective presses in regards to your rights inquiry.
  • Secondary Permission: If the work that you wish to reprint from is taken from a collected work, please look to the acknowledgement section to discern the original publisher of the work-this is whom you need to contact. We cannot grant permission for work that is copyrighted by another publisher.
  • Book Covers, Illustrations, or Photographs: If you wish to reprint a book cover, illustration, or photograph from one of our books, please refer to the credit line appearing below the art and contact the person and/or organization to whom the material is credited. We cannot grant permission for art, illustrations, or designs that we have obtained from another source.

We hope you find this information to be of assistance. However, should your permission request fall outside of any of the aforementioned categories, please do not hesitate to contact us directly at ask@crossroadpublishing.com or by fax at (212) 868-2171.
