The SFWA Estates Page is the place for editors and publishers who want to reprint material by a deceased writer and need help seeking permissions.

Bud Webster, SFWA Estates Liaison, is circulating his latest list in hopes of finding the rights holders. New additions are marked with an asterisk. If you have an idea about any of these, please let him know. His e-mail is: budwebster (at) mindspring (dot) org:
