Our dedicated and experienced in-house translation rights team are an integral part of the agency and have sold rights into over 50 languages and into more than 100 territories.

In collaboration with our primary agents, we ensure our authors have the best chance of success internationally through a multi-pronged approach. We work closely with our extensive network of contacts across the world and attend the major book fairs including Beijing, Frankfurt, London, and Sharjah as well as regularly travelling abroad to meet with editors.

Representing globally recognisable brands, characters, and authors, we secure the best deals on a global level. We firmly believe that foreign rights can completely alter the lifecycle of a novel with the translations reaching millions of readers internationally. Many of our authors are now international bestsellers and prize winners as well as enjoying huge success at home in the UK and US.
