SFWAns:

I'm compiling an expanded and corrected list of estates and the representation thereof, ultimately to be placed on-line at the SFWA site for the benefit of any editors and/or publishers who want to reprint stories or novels and don't know where to go to clear the rights.

Hopefully, it'll be a point-and-click site, arranged by authors' names, so that a click will take the user straight to the appropriate agency or individual.

What I'd like to have from you, if you have it, is information about any estates that you KNOW are repped by a specific agency, agent, or individual, as well as contact information for them. If it's not in the current Directory on page 60, I certainly want to add it.

I'll be approaching the agencies listed in the directory, as well as others, for confirmation and further listings, but you mugs are brainy enough that I'm sure some of you have info we don't already have, especially with the more recent estates.

So, contact me.

Also, let me give a shout-out for someone who is willing to volunteer to help us set this thing up; I really would like it to be linkable, and I can't do it since none of this stuff is written for DOS anymore. Help us out, and help keep the Good Old Stuff alive for a little longer, okay?
