Rich Lit Rights

Rich Lit is a dedicated literary rights agency, representing literary agencies and independent publishers all over the globe. Our focus is on children’s books, quality commercial fiction for adults, select nonfiction, and international titles. We are a London-based agency with transatlantic roots and a global perspective. We attend industry events including Frankfurt, Bologna, and London book fairs, as well as travelling regularly to meet publishers in their offices and participate in publishing fellowships.We believe that every reader deserves access to good stories, regardless of where they live. Books have the power to change lives, cross borders, and bridge the differences between people. We are especially passionate about bringing stories from traditionally underrepresented or marginalised voices to a wider audience. We stand by our BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ colleagues in publishing and on the side of readers everywhere who are disadvantaged by geopolitical and economic circumstances.We take pride in our hand-selling approach to rights, giving each author the attention they deserve to reach their international potential and helping editors to select the best titles to bring joy to their readers. We work directly in every territory except in Asia, where we work exclusively with subagents.At Rich Lit Rights, Rachel handles the foreign rights for bestselling authors including Jessica Townsend, B.B. Alston, Sophie Anderson, Robin Stevens, Jennifer Iacopelli, and Ravena Guron. She has launched debuts onto the international scene, navigated authors transitioning their writing between different genres and age brackets, and capitalised on interest generated by screen adaptations to bring books to readers across territories. Rachel works directly in most territories throughout the world, and with prestigious co-agents in Asia. She handles everything from three to six-figure deals, searching the globe to find the best international homes for every book on her list.
