This approach is particularly effective for books with strong trade journal reviews and those that align with popular library genres.
Our Foreign Language Rights team will represent your book. They market, negotiate, and sell foreign language and subsidiary rights of your book to a network of 2,200 foreign publishers and rights buyers around the globe.

Enhance the success and visibility of your book with distribution to airport bookstores that receive a tremendous amount of foot traffic from business professionals.
Airport bookstores are among the most exclusive bookstores due to their small square footage and impressive foot traffic. Only rigorously vetted books receive placements, creating an environment where the best of the best are on display. We offer an airport bookstore as an optional add-on for SXSW authors who want to place their book in front of traveling business leaders and creatives looking for their next book.
