Foreign Rights
International Rights Management
Connecting Publishing Rights Across Global Markets
In a global publishing industry, publication rights are among a publisher’s most valuable assets. Managed well, they open new markets, create new revenue streams and extend a book’s commercial life beyond its original language and territory.
Casa Hispana Group provides specialist foreign rights services, acting as a strategic partner for publishers, authors and institutions seeking to take their catalogues international through the sale, acquisition and management of publishing rights.
Our purpose is to connect publishing content with new business opportunities in Latin America and the Caribbean, and to help Latin American work reach Europe, North America and Asia.
What are foreign rights?
Foreign rights cover the negotiation and administration of the rights to publish a work in other countries, languages and territories.
These rights may include:
- Translation rights
- Territorial rights
- Publication rights
- Digital rights
- Audiobook rights
- Print-on-demand rights
- Distribution rights
- Special edition rights
- Institutional market rights
- Adaptation rights, where applicable
