Translation Rights

Selling translation rights for our clients successfully

We are passionate about placing our authors’ work with top publishers around the world, making it a priority at the heart of the agency’s service. We have a vast network of relationships with editors in publishing houses across the globe. We attend major rights fairs and international literary festivals, and we embark on dedicated sales trips overseas to develop the greatest possible international reach for our clients.

Our precise and nuanced approach ensures we offer our authors' works to the right editors in the right publishing houses, selling directly in numerous languages, and working closely with co-agents in other markets. Once we have negotiated the best possible terms for our authors, we nurture and develop relationships with their editors and support both author and publisher throughout the publication process.

Our rights department is led by Sam Edenborough who brings expertise gained over twenty years of international deal-making to his role as rights director. Maria Brannan, an experienced former literary scout, is our translation rights manager. Together they work with their colleagues to maximise the potential for successful rights sales from the earliest stages of a book's development, harnessing their knowledge of international markets.
