The Art of Translation
Every book has a unique voice, and translating it into another language is an art as much as a science. Our experienced rights team works closely with publishers worldwide to ensure your story’s tone, themes, and nuances resonate with new audiences.
Global Reach, Local Expertise
Our rights team has developed strong relationships with a network of trusted publishers and translators across the globe, specialising in diverse markets. Whether it’s Europe, Asia, or further afield, they can identify the right publishing partner for your work. Their deep understanding of regional literary trends ensures your book finds a receptive audience in every language it’s published.
Amplifying Your Global Impact
Having your book translated opens doors to new readers, markets, and opportunities—strengthening your reputation as an international author. Whether it’s increasing your book sales, building your personal brand, or creating opportunities for adaptation into other media like film and TV, we help you navigate and capitalize on the global publishing landscape.
