Rights & Licensing

Rights & partnerships

Tell us what work you wish to use and how you plan to use it.

Licensing begins with the exact work and use

Leone Connect Publishing handles rights enquiries for its house material and for publications where it is authorized to act. Rights in contributor work may remain with the creator, Leone Connect Publishing or another party, and availability can differ by edition, language, territory, format and term.

A catalogue listing, author profile, online preview or acknowledgement of an enquiry does not confirm availability or grant permission. A right is licensed only through an authorized written agreement covering the approved use.

Prepare a decision-ready enquiry

A complete request helps us identify the responsible rights holder, check the proposed scope and respond without avoidable delay. Provide a genuine decision date; an urgent message does not create availability or priority.

• The title, creator, edition and exact material involved.
• Your name, role, organization and working contact details.
• The proposed use, audience, context and whether it is commercial, educational, editorial or promotional.
• The requested language, territory, format, distribution method and term.
• The expected quantity, reach, price or access model where relevant.
• The planned publication or production date and your genuine decision deadline.
