Guidelines for Requesting Copyright Permission

If you wish to reproduce any material, such as hymns or excerpts from pamphlets or books, published by the UUA or Skinner House Books, please use the following guidelines to expedite the permissions process. Allow us at least one week to respond to your request.

1. Identify precisely which material you would like to reproduce:

   a. For a hymn or reading from Singing the Living Tradition provide the title and number, and in the case of a hymn, indicate whether you intend to use the words, music, or both (many hymns have more than one copyright holder).

   b. For an excerpt from a larger work, such as a pamphlet or book, please provide the title, author, and publication date (to identify which edition or printing), and indicate the page numbers you wish to use. If you can send a xerox copy of the pages or paragraphs in question that would be very helpful.

2. Indicate how many copies you intend to make.
   
3. Indicate for what purpose you would like to reproduce the material (for example, "I would like to use the hymn in my wedding service and distribute copies to the congregation").
   
4. Indicate whether you intend to sell a product that includes our material.

   a. If so, what is the price of your product?
   b. Do you intend to realize a profit?
