 “Dr. C. Daniel Miller of Integrated Writer Services, LLC, expertly sleuthed out the copyright holders for the quoted text in this book and obtained their permission for me to use the quotations. Copyright clearance is a complex undertaking that requires considerable expertise and experience. I couldn’t do it on my own. Thanks, Dan.”

Tom Harleman, DT, PhD |
 “I have the highest regard for the work of Dan and Joyce Miller. They are committed to their copyright work and are very knowledgeable in this area. I give them my highest reference. I was very pleased with their promptness to answer emails and the few telephone calls we had. Most of our communications were by email, but many involved the review of lengthy memos and documents as well as negotiations with publishing houses who held the copyrights. Our work went into expired, abandoned, orphan, and active copyrights. We negotiated several licensing agreements with some of the largest publishing presses . . . .”

 “My book, Circumcision: How an Ancient Ritual Became a Questionable Surgery—A Complete Analysis, has 869 references. The Copyright Detective was invaluable in tracking down several permissions. He did an exceptionally thorough job and was fair about his charges. I highly recommend him.”
Kenneth S. Lipman, PhD |
 “Joyce was a tremendous help in tracking down numerous hard to find sources for me. She knew exactly how to find them quickly and expertly gained permission to use them in support of my work. It is a must that you gain copyright permissions in today’s litigious world to protect your investment. Dan and Joyce leave no stones unturned. I highly recommend their services.”

 “Joyce did research to gain permission for some pictures and lyrics I used and also found some additional pictures to enhance the story. I would recommend Joyce highly and would definitely use her again.”
Susan Stewart Grubb |
 “Joyce, thanks for all the work you have done getting me the artist’s permission to use lyrics in Nomad’s Land. You know the business and the players, follow the rules, and get the job done–you are a guru in my eyes and a true professional. I look forward to working with you again in the near future.”

 “This letter is written to give the highest recommendation possible to Joyce L. Miller, Permissions Editor, for the time and dedication she expended in doing research for my book and also obtaining copyright permissions. Not only is she thorough but also sensitive to the author’s needs and ideas.
“I am forever grateful for her dedication and professionalism.” Fr. Maurice G. McNeely |
 “While writing my book, The Call of Africa, I came across a quote that I wanted to use. The origin of the quote, however, was unknown except of the author’s name. My publisher recommended that I contact Joyce to help locate the author in order to obtain her permission to use the quote. Within a matter of a few short weeks Joyce located the author, received her preliminary oral permission and in a few days obtained her written permission. The quote was vital to the book and without Joyce’s help the book could not have been published. Joyce’s fee was quite reasonable and I will ask her assistance immediately if the situation ever recurs. Her pleasant manner was an additional benefit and I feel like I now have a new friend.”
Dr. J. William Allgood, M.D. author of The Call of Africa. Publisher: Outskirts Press |
 “When our authors want to use copyrighted material and don’t know where to begin in acquiring permission, we always refer them to you. We are so pleased to have someone with your expertise we can send our clients to. We will continue to count on your help for our authors in matters related to permissions.”

 “As editor and consultant, Joyce’s work has been invaluable. Plus, her doggedness in locating sources for quotes, anecdotes and stories I have used and getting permission for their usage allowed me to spend my time in writing, the area of my real expertise.”
