Books and essays are often based on previously published writings that are copyrighted. With exceptions for academic or personal use, U.S. copyright law prohibits using these works without the owner's consent. A request for permission to reprint published material allows you to provide details on how the writings will be used and to what extent. The copyright owner can then assess and decide whether to approve or deny your request.
