Rights & licensing
Finding an English-language publisher is only the first of the Greenhouse’s goals for its authors. There’s also the excitement, profile and income to be had from finding publishing homes for your work around the world, as well as the exploitation of other subsidiary rights that fall within a publishing contract, such as film, TV and audio.
Foreign rights in all Greenhouse titles are handled by Rights People – a dedicated and innovative children’s rights-selling team comprising three highly experienced industry professionals - Alexandra Devlin, Alex Webb and Caroline Hill-Trevor.
Rights People offers a one-stop shop for rights sales around the world, selling direct to all territories with the exception of China, Japan and Korea, where the team works with excellent subagents. Rights People’s cohesive approach enables the creation of an overall rights-selling strategy aimed at maximising the potential of every Greenhouse title. As well as creating special sales material for books represented, Rights People also produces a rights catalogue twice a year.
Since the launch of the business in early 2006, Rights People has tied up deals with 76 publishers in 26 countries. The team attends the Frankfurt, Bologna and London bookfairs and are regular speakers on issues connected with translation and rights selling.
