“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.”

Gimp1B
“I thought gimp was finished in ’07 but my life has a soundtrack. I didn’t want to delete the lyrics. Wow! It’s hard to get copyright permissions. Thank you Joyce Miller at Integrated Writer Services. She tracked down copyright holders (a single song can have more than 10 and we were asking for everything gratis). It took months. That job would have made my head explode. Every month that went by waiting for copyright releases was good for gimp. I pick and poke, shine and polish.”

McNeely1B“This letter is written to give the highest recommendation possible to Joyce L.

Not only is she thorough but also sensitive to the author’s needs and ideas.

“I am forever grateful for her dedication and professionalism.”

Permissions cleared: 1 poem hidden in obscurity, poet tracked down in Africa.Allgood1B“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.”

It is without reservation that I highly recommend Joyce Miller . . . a knowledgeable and highly valued staff member whom we will be unable to replace.”
