THE LION IS BRINGING IN NEW AGREEMENTS AND REQUESTS
March is coming in like a lion for us - already bringing much new business - from more agreements with publishers to translation requests that came from publishers just checking our website.
We are pleased to announce that we are now offering translation rights of books of many of the modern world's most famous musicians such as Beyonc� Knowles, and Nicki Minaj as we are now working with Amber Press, the nation's largest African-American Publisher of many subjects such as Music Biographies, History and Self-Help. We are now featuring them on our Available Rights tab on our website Global Book Rights so do check out what they have.
And a publisher on the other side of the world obviously went to our website and checked under authors, finding some they want such as Dale Carnegie and Napoleon Hill. We're glad to see this traffic!
BOOK FESTIVAL RIGHT HERE IN TUCSON ARIZONA
This festival has developed into the fourth largest in the nation with 100,000 people expected and we are looking forward to driving 10 minutes to meet with some of our internet - acquaintance - publisher friends rather than flying as we have done when going to London, Frankfurt, Tokyo, Seoul, Beijing, Shanghai, Singapore, and Guadalajara as well as the BEA in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. I feel that these trips gave me a good understanding of these various parts of the world, but today with the internet, I see that I learn far more about what is happening in publishing, where and what my contacts are really like than I ever got from a half hour meeting with either publishers, authors, or agents.
AND SO, TO OUR GROWING INTERNET CONNECTIONS!
We have been concentrating on growing connections through the internet and are happy to report that we are now working with sub-agents in various countries in which we had not been selling rights. We are happy to get information from them telling us just what is wanted in their territories and why. I am sure that this will mean many more rights sales for the publishers and authors that we represent.
If you are coming to the Tucson Book Festival March 15th or 16th please do let us know!
