Hi fsiles,
After reviewing various research materials that we have on hand
(listed at the very end of my answer), investigating literary agents'
websites, searching bibliographic information on the authors,
searching used books and copyright websites, we have come up with
contacts for all of the authors you have listed. There are no
guarantees that all of these contacts will produce the desired results
for you, but we're confident you will at least be started in the right
direction. Please click on the links to find out specific requirements
for each publishers and agents, they all have their own rules, for
example, some will only accept written requests, others will accept
faxes, and still others emails. Copyright laws of literary works of
commercial value are highly complicated, don't assume anything.
Document everything you do (keep a diary) in the unlikely event that
you may need to back yourself up in the future.
