For Publishers and Distributors
Each year, hundreds of thousands of people are taught Nonviolent Communication (NVC) around the world. There are more than 200 certified NVC trainers, hundreds of independent trainers and practice facilitators, and approximately 30 formal NVC teams and organizations providing access to NVC training in 35 countries around the globe.
We appreciate your interest in translation and foreign rights for our Nonviolent Communication titles. The core messages of our books translate very well into other languages. The continued availability of this vital work in non-English speaking areas of the world is dependent on companies like yours.
Interested in Purchasing Foreign Rights or Translating Our NVC Titles? Take these Simple Steps:
Step 1: Check foreign rights status.
Download a PDF our NVC Foreign Rights Publication Status document, or view it online, to check the copyright/publication status of the PDP published material you wish to translate and/or publish. This document includes:
- Contact information for existing foreign language publishers
- The language they publish in
- The specific PuddleDancer Press title they have the rights to publish
Step 2: Check distribution and translation status.
Download our Worldwide Distributors of English Language NVC Titles document to find contact information for English language distributors of our trade editions worldwide.
Step 3: Determine the copyright holder for the title you wish to publish.
Copyrights for NVC-related publications are held by either Puddledancer Press, the Center for Nonviolent Communication (CNVC), or by the author of the material. Copyright ownership is usually indicated on the material itself. Acceptance and review policies vary slightly, but all NVC copyright holders are committed to helping spread NVC around the world.
