Estates contact information

Note: SFWA does not itself represent any estates, but only acts to connect interested parties to estate representatives. While SFWA believes it’s important for authors and their estates to receive payment for republication of their works, we must also acknowledge that some of the stories and novels by these authors have fallen into the public domain and are free for all to use and republish as they like.  The Stanford Copyright & Fair Use Tools Page provides a beginning place to determine the copyright status of a work. By providing contact information, SFWA makes no warrant as to the legal status of these representatives or which works are still copyrighted in the U.S.
