I've actually been doing some video readings of books on YouTube, ones I personally wrote and other authors wrote. I did get permission from an author, considering the one I wrote had some similarities to a series he had done. The other, well, she's been dead for 30 years, counting 2015. I am only wondering, though. Do we still need consent from the publishers, even after the author's been dead for 10+ years? I want to read another author's work, but nervous to do so.
