Authors Coalition Has Money For You

Posted on 12/29/2011 by Jim Pickerell | Printable Version | Comments (0)

The Authors Coalition of America, LLC, has identified a number of American authors who may be due royalty payments from non-U.S. sources. These royalties have been received to compensate authors for the foreign reprographic use of U.S. copyrighted materials.
 
The majority of reprographic royalties distributed to ACA are the result of surveys and samplings in foreign countries done on a non-title specific basis, and therefore are remitted to organizations representing the categories of authors for whom the funds were collected. However, ACA also receives royalties for distribution from select countries that and collected by title-specific methods and are due individual authors.

A list of authors who are currently due title-specific royalties can be found here. If you believe some of these funds are yours, you will also find the documents and information that ACA will require from you.

ACA was founded in 1994 and today is a coalition of 22 American Author Member Organizations. ACA is an Associate Member of the International Federation of Reprographic Rights Organizations (“IFRRO”). You do not need to belong to any of our Member Organizations to receive funds if they are due to you.
