Let's say I'm writing for an existing setting to which I don't have the rights but do have permission. The license-holder is expecting some sort of license fees from the publisher.

Presumably, I mention something about this in the query. I'm not the one who negotiates these things, though. Should I just include the contact information with the query? Or should I wait to see if they're interested in reading the ms first?

What's the SOP here?

I'm not sure what the SOP is, but if it were me, I'd mention that you have permission. You don't want the agent to read the letter, recognize the shared world, and reject you purely because you thinks you've written lengthy fanfiction and have no clue how things work.

But again, that's just me.
