First-time Registrants

The PLR Commission communicates with authors once a year - every February. If you send the PLR a registration form in 2010,
the next time you will hear from us will be in February 2011.
Registered Authors
If you are already registered with the PLR Commission, you should receive your PLR package by the end of February. It contains a File Update form for you to use to add new titles or update your address.
The Title Earning Summary included in your PLR package lists all of the current titles you have registered with the PLR Commission. You do not need to re-register your titles.
Registrations received outside of the registration period will NOT be accepted and will be returned to the sender.
| The PLR registration period will open on
15 February 2010.

Registration period: 15 February to 1 May 2010
Registration forms for new authors will be downloadable from this website during this period. If you are not already registered, and would like to receive an
e-mail notice in February 2010 when the registration forms are available on our website, click here.
Results of the Public Lending Right library sampling are sent by regular mail to registered authors in mid-February. The envelope also includes a File Update form that should be used to inform the Commission of new books.
