FAQs for Publisher Affiliates

Can I send you a list of my company's published works in a spreadsheet?

Yes. Please read "Providing a Works List to Access Copyright" for what information we require.

My publishing company recently acquired a publishing company that was one of your affiliates. How does this affect any royalties you were sending them?

Any royalties payable to the affiliate will be payable to their new owners. If you now own all of their titles, please be sure to include them on your works list.

If I affiliate, do my authors automatically become affiliates?

No. Your authors must affiliate on their own. Please direct them to our online registration tool.

Can you send royalties directly to my authors?

Access Copyright can send royalties directly to any author who is one of our affiliates. If the author is not an affiliate of Access Copyright, royalties we have collected for them will be distributed to you. However, we can work with you to develop tools (such as consent forms and language to embed in your publisher/creator contracts) that enable Access Copyright to pay royalties to your authors directly.

How can I encourage my authors to affiliate with Access Copyright?

We can give you information to provide to your authors which highlights the benefits of becoming an Access Copyright affiliate. Please contact us for more information.
