What is that all about? Each October, Frankfurt hosts the world's largest book fair, including the biggest opportunity to connect with foreign rights buyers from all over the world.
Very few publishers can afford to travel to Frankfurt and pay for a booth (costs thousands of dollars) in order to connect with the buyers.
That is why the services of an agent are so important - and so cheap!
For less than $300.00 you can have an agent display and personally talk about your book to publishers world-wide, plus have your book printed in the agent's catalog. Does it get any better?
And -- why wouldn't you sell your foreign rights? I did and happily so. Am I going to set up a publishing company in a number of foreign countries where I can't even speak the language? Not likely. Do I like receiving "free" money for just signing a contract and allowing someone else to do all of the work? Yes! Am I worried that someone will steal my book and publish it elsewhere? Not if I have an agent who is dealing with reputable publishers.
