Workman Domestic Rights
Frequently Asked Questions
Translation and Domestic Rights and International Book Fairs
I am a translator, and I’d like to translate a book into my language. How should I proceed?
We license translation rights to international publishers, and they are responsible for hiring a translator. Workman Publishing does not license to individuals, only to accredited publishing houses.
I would like to make an appointment for the Frankfurt/London/Bologna book fair. Whom do I contact?
You can request book fair appointments by contacting international.inquiries@workman.com.
I would like to buy the rights to a book published by Workman, Artisan, Algonquin, Storey, Timber, Workman Kids, or Algonquin Young Readers.
Workman, Artisan, Algonquin, Storey, Timber, Workman Kids, and Algonquin Young Readers translation rights for the languages listed below are represented by subagents. Please contact the appropriate agent for more information.
Inquiries for domestic rights and for languages not represented by a subagent can be directed to international.inquiries@workman.com.
