Subsidiary Rights


We are committed to bringing our clients’ work to readers in multiple forms across the globe. Internationally, we work closely with a network of co-agents who help us find the best deals for our clients in their local markets and place books with excellent publishers in more than 50 countries around the world. Domestically, we place audio rights for our clients’ books with a wide variety of audio publishers, from independents to the audio divisions of major companies. We also work both directly and with a network of co-agents to place film and television rights for our clients’ projects with producers, networks, and studios.
