Authors: before you submit, check who holds the translation rights. If your book was published by a publishing house, your contract may give the foreign rights to them. Tell us when you submit and we will check it with you before anything else.
From your desk to a foreign publisher’s list.

Want an agent for your book?
Our literary agency selects titles it believes can sell abroad and represents them in full. Representation requires one of our packages (Catalogue for publishers, any package for authors), and when a deal closes we take 19% of the advance and 1% of royalties each year for the life of the contract, on every deal, Greek or foreign.
We read your book first. If we take it on, publishers join with the Catalogue package (€590) and authors with any of our packages, from the Author Rights Kit (€190). We never take payment before we have said yes.
Before you start
Do I need an English translation already?
No. The Catalogue package and the Author Rights Kit include an English sample. If you already have one, we use it.
Who sees my book?
Publishers and literary agents we have verified: company registration, VAT or tax ID, and a signed confidentiality agreement. Your sample is watermarked and never public.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes. The Catalogue package can be paid in three instalments of €197.
What happens if a publisher is interested?
Our team follows up, negotiates the terms and handles the contract through our literary agency. You decide whether to accept.
