An agent for your book, abroad.
Our team at Bookguru.gr, Greece’s first writer’s agency, represents selected Greek titles to publishers worldwide. We pitch, negotiate and follow your royalties for the life of the contract.
Everything an agent does, from pitch to payment.
Pitch
We present your book to the right publishers, at the fairs and directly.
Negotiate
Advance, royalties, territories, duration: we get you fair terms.
Contract
We review every clause and explain it to you before you sign.
Follow up
We check royalty statements and chase payments, so you don’t have to.
Clear terms, no surprises.
The same terms apply to every deal, in Greece or abroad. The publisher pays through our agency account. We keep our commission and send you the rest with a clear statement. Every representation starts with a written agreement.
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.
We are selective, so publishers trust our list.
We take on books we believe can sell abroad. When we read your submission, we look at:
- ✓A story or idea that can travel beyond Greece
- ✓Quality of writing and a clear audience
- ✓Translation rights held by you or available from your publisher
- ✓An author ready to work with us on the English materials

Good to know
What if you don’t take my book?
We tell you, and why if we can. You can still show it to publishers through our packages, if you wish.
Do I keep my rights?
Yes. We act on your behalf. Nothing is signed without your approval.
Do you also represent publishers?
Yes. Publishers can ask us to handle the foreign rights of selected titles on the same terms.
How long does it take?
Rights deals often take months. We keep you updated after every fair.
