Product Development

We’ve been talking about permissions and copyright law. This time, I’d like to briefly turn the spotlight on our Permissions Department.

I've only touched on some of the rules/regulations. For example, if you want to use a photograph of a group of people, you not only need permission from the photographer, you also need a model release from each person who is recognizable within the photograph!   Our permissions department helps KH personnel as well as the authors to understand them, and thereby help make our inquiry based science product possible.

Kendall Hunt Publishing’s permission department is helpful in setting guidelines as well as reviewing the submitted materials. There’s a complete document they provide to our authors instructing them to go about requesting the permission. They are a valuable resource. They also play a key role in organizing and retaining the documentation of the permissions and generally reclear the materials for revisions.

We couldn’t do what we do without them!
