Hi Tim,
I work for a book publishing company so have a good deal of experience
with reprints, permissions and distribution issues/logistics. If you are
going to sell copies of the book into the US, then you need to get
permission from Counter Point Press. Otherwise, the permission granted from
Penguin is fine, and you just have to ensure that you will only be selling
books in Canada.
That said, this happens often, and you would really only run into problems
if you launched a sales and marketing campaign for the book in the US and
were actively trying to sell it there. If a few copies make it into the US,
that is sometimes beyond your control.
Anyway, the rule is that if you’re selling the book in the US, you need to
get permission from the US rights holder (Counter Point Press).
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Jessica

Hi editors,
I’m working on acquisitions for an upcoming collection of short fiction.
It’s a relatively small print run, which will be mostly distributed in
Canada, but a few copies will make their way to the states.
One of the selections is a chapter from a fairly well-known novel. I’ve
secured permission to reprint from the Canadian publisher (Penguin Random
House), and they directed me to Counter Point Press for US distribution
rights.
However, some folks are distinguishing between publishing and distributing
– "If you are publishing in the US then you will need to pay for permission
from the US publisher. If you are only publishing in Canada, you will not
need permission from the US."
Does anybody have experience or knowledge to confirm one way or the other?
As one editor put it, distribution appears to be a flexible concept.
Needless to say, we’d rather not pay what we don’t have to, but we’d also
rather not get sued.
Thanks for your help.
Tim
