A bit about me …

Back in 2015, I took the leap and started my own foreign rights agency – all because I wanted to champion the books and publishing lists I truly love and believe in. After finishing my MA in Literature, I was (like so many others) set on becoming an editor. But then I stumbled into the world of rights… and it was love at first sight!

The mix of talking about beautiful children’s books, meeting amazing people from all over the world, learning about different cultures and languages – it felt like the perfect fit. And I was right! I absolutely love what I do and couldn’t imagine a better way to spend my days than helping wonderful stories travel the globe.

Over the years, I’ve worked in Germany, the US, and the UK at various publishing houses – each experience adding new insights and lots of learning (plus a fair bit of adventure!). I’ve been lucky to build strong relationships with publishers across the world and gain a deep understanding of the international children’s book market.

Working in foreign rights means I get to collaborate with inspiring, creative people every day – and that’s what makes this job so exciting. If you’ve got books you want to send out into the world, I’d love to help them find their perfect home in other languages and countries.

Let’s make your stories travel!

I hope to hear from you soon!
