Q. Where can I get information about my book's sales or royalties statements?
You should receive royalty statements on a schedule that was determined in your contract, but if you haven't received yours or want to know about your book prior to the first statement, contact the UK royalties department at [email protected] or the US royalties department at [email protected].
You can also get in touch with your editor or their editorial assistant and they can help you.
Q. Will my book be available at the chapter level? Can customers purchase single chapters of my book?
Our Digital Publishing team focuses on associating meaningful metadata (e.g., keywords) with each piece of book content at the granular level to maximize the discoverability of content, leading to increased usage, impact, and a number of citations. This means that individuals are increasingly able to find the content at the chapter level when searching various databases.
At present, we are not planning on selling content by the chapter. However, Routledge Handbooks Online and taylorandfrancis.com platforms make content from our Handbooks available by chapter for those institutions that purchase subscriptions.
Q. Do you prepare translations?
We do not offer a translation service but we do aim to sell translation rights in various languages for our books. When the translation rights are sold, you will be compensated as per your contract details. The translation is normally sought about 1-2 years after your English version is published. If you come across an individual who wants to translate your book, do let us know. However, we will need a foreign language publisher to purchase the rights. Most of the time, the foreign language publisher supplies its own translators as well as production, marketing, and printers. You will receive a copy of the translated edition if contracted and published.
Contact details for our rights team can be found here.
Q. What about revising my book in the future?
Our goal is to maintain our solid reputation of providing our readers with up-to-date and valuable content. Revision cycles for textbooks, handbooks, monographs, and professional books vary, but your acquiring editor will certainly want to discuss how to keep your content fresh, marketable, and available to our readers. When you have ideas for new or revised material for your book, please do get in touch with your editorial team.
Q. I have published a book with Taylor & Francis. Can I now publish the book open access?

Q. How does Taylor & Francis work with third-party licensing organizations?
Taylor & Francis’s experienced global rights licensing sales team work across a diverse range of academic and professional titles, aiming to secure secondary license deals, such as translations, audiobooks, and digital licensing. Building on established relationships with local publishers around the world, many of our authors have benefitted from expanding the audience for their work as a result of these activities.
In addition to these licensing deals, Taylor & Francis authors can also benefit from third-party collective copyright organizations such as the U.K. Authors' Licensing and Collecting Society (ALCS) and the US-based Authors Registry. These organizations keep track of secondary uses of copyrighted work (such as photocopying and scanning). Authors of books are advised to register with the relevant organization in order to receive royalties from these secondary uses of their work.
