How should I ask for permission to adapt a copyrighted work for non-commercial purposes?
<p>I‘m part of a small group of hobbyist producing an audio play podcast for fun. We don‘t make any revenue - no ads, no donations, no fees, no affiliate links. We have around 600 listeners.</p>

<p>Now we have come across a novella from the 60s which we would like to adapt into an audio play. The copyright owners seem to be the author‘s heirs, represented by an estate representative.</p>

<p>What would be a good way to ask the rights holders for permission?</p>

<p>I do X and I really enjoyed your novella Y. I would like to adapt it for the podcast. Please contact me so we can explore licensing options. Thank you and have a nice day.</p>
