  • Literary, Subsidiary, and Foreign Rights Agents
    Literary, Subsidiary, and Foreign Rights Agents A Mini-Guide by John Kremer Copyright © 2011 by John Kremer All rights reserved. Open Horizons P. O. Box 2887 Taos NM 87571 575-751-3398 Fax: 575-751-3100 Email: [email protected] Web: http://www.bookmarket.com Introduction Below are the names and contact information for more than 1,450+ literary agents who sell rights for books. For additional lists, see the end of this report. The agents highlighted with a bigger indent are known to work with self-publishers or publishers in helping them to sell subsidiary, film, foreign, and reprint rights for books. All 325+ foreign literary agents (highlighted in bold green) listed here are known to work with one or more independent publishers or authors in selling foreign rights. Some of the major literary agencies are highlighted in bold red. To locate the 260 agents that deal with first-time novelists, look for the agents highlighted with bigger type. You can also locate them by searching for: “first novel” by using the search function in your web browser or word processing program. Unknown author Jennifer Weiner was turned down by 23 agents before finding one who thought a novel about a plus-size heroine would sell. Her book, Good in Bed, became a bestseller. The lesson? Don't take 23 agents word for it. Find the 24th that believes in you and your book. When querying agents, be selective. Don't send to everyone. Send to those that really look like they might be interested in what you have to offer.

Have you ever been in the beautiful islantrs of Hawaii? To think of these islands in the far Pacific, causes a restful minute of speculative thought as to what would happen if you were suddenly ushered upon the scene of bustle and enterprise, evident in the larger towns of this land. Nine chances to one, you would stand open mouthed, wondering if your eyes were truthful in seeing such commercial spirit coming from residents of a country so torrid. There is a reason for this tremendous increase in business transacted; it cannot alone be credited to the American residents, for other countries are largely represented. But a greater amount of business enterprise can be laid at the door of America, through its efforts to educate the people of the island in American methods.This is illustrated by the following letter which we received from a Hawaiian resident.- PAPAIKOU, July 20, 1910.
