Our clients' books have been sold to a multitude of countries around the world. Acquiring a foreign rights contract gives your book credibility and it gives you a bit of extra money for no work on your part. It is very unlikely that you would want, or be able to, take on the sales and distribution of your book in other countries, so selling your rights is a win-win proposition.
I love to see my book in its Polish version, as well as in the other versions that were sold to large corporations. It was all money in my pocket for no effort from me.....
