Our Partners & Clients

Gale has been working with the staff at Layman Poupard and Bruccoli Clark Layman for 45 years. We rely on this editorial and production team to create many of our most treasured literary works. They have collaborated with us on many projects and I have always found them to be creative, responsive, and prompt. Their work is of the highest quality.

Jill Lectka, Vice President, Content Strategy & Development, Gale-Cengage Learning

I have been reading through the whole book, carefully page by page, with great enjoyment. It’s such a rich resource and Patrick Scott has found so many interesting bits and pieces…It’s been fascinating to read a book which offers such a comprehensive picture of Stevenson’s world.
Prof. Graham, Emeritus Professor of English, Flinders University

The University of South Carolina have been proud to support the publishing efforts of Layman Poupard. We are pleased that our collections have played a role in the creation of reference standards such as the Literature Criticism Series (the largest curated collection of literature criticism for world authors ever assembled) and Dictionary of Literary Biography (the standard reference work for literary biography of world authors and the most comprehensive in the field).

Of equal importance to our library has been the contributions of the directors,  making possible (to name just a few) the acquisition of the most complete collection of Dashiell Hammett, a comprehensive collection of print materials and artwork of John Dos Passos, and the papers of Elmore Leonard

Every great research library has a select group of supporters who completely pledge themselves to the library. If I need assistance with any item that falls into the realm of publishing or literature, I know the Layman Poupard group will have an idea, know someone who can help me, or will guide me through a process. They are the rarest of friends and our Library is a better library because of them.

Layman Poupard accounts for the greatest part, by far, of our permissions sales, and it’s always a pleasure to work with the permissions team there. Everyone I’ve ever had contact with there has been friendly, helpful, and efficient. I feel like we’re on the same side rather than adversaries, furthering the interests of both companies and reaching a wider audience with our content.

Layman Poupard Publishing has secured permissions for complex Press titles with exceptional results. Our staff and authors appreciate Kourtnay and her team’s experience. Projects are completed in a thorough and timely manner. Whether it be permissions assessments, source research, completion of logs, or preparation of image files, LPP is expert in all aspects of permissions. They are my first and only contact for outsourcing permissions work.
