For Literary Agents

Take Represented Works Across Borders

Lingorama is being developed to help literary agents make represented works more discoverable across languages, territories, formats, and publishing markets.

More Visibility for the Works You Represent

A literary work may hold opportunities far beyond its original language or publishing territory, but those opportunities are not always easy to identify or communicate internationally.

Lingorama is building a multilingual environment where literary agents can present represented works, clarify available rights, and increase their visibility among publishers, translators, rights professionals, and potential adaptation partners.

The aim is to support agents in giving suitable books a clearer international presence while preserving the agent’s essential role in representation, negotiation, and rights strategy.

How Lingorama Supports Literary Agents

Showcase individual titles and selected agency catalogues in a structured environment designed for professional discovery.

Promote Available Rights

Communicate translation, territorial, audio, stage, screen, educational, and other subsidiary-rights opportunities.

Increase International Visibility

Help represented works become discoverable across languages, territories, and publishing markets.

Clarify Rights Information

Present which rights are available, licensed, restricted, or managed by another authorized party.

Reach Relevant Professionals

Make titles visible to publishers, translators, rights professionals, and potential adaptation partners seeking particular works or rights.

Extend the Life of a Work

Built for Different Forms of Representation

Literary Agencies

Present selected works from an agency list and communicate international and subsidiary-rights opportunities.

Independent Literary Agents

Give represented authors and titles greater visibility within a developing international publishing environment.

Foreign-Rights Agents

Present works and rights information to professionals working across specific languages, countries, and territories.

Co-Agents and Subagents

Support rights discovery and professional communication within the languages or territories for which you are authorized to act.

Submitting Individual Titles and Catalogues

Present a Single Title

Use the Submit a Title form to provide preliminary information about an individual represented work and its available rights.

Representing Several Titles?

Agents and agencies wishing to present multiple works should contact Lingorama before completing separate submissions. As the catalogue develops, Lingorama may provide structured or batch-ingestion options for agency catalogues.

How the Initial Process Works

  1. 01

    Present the Work

    Submit preliminary information about the title, author, representation, publication history, and available rights.

  2. 02

    Confirm Your Authority

    Confirm that you or your agency are authorized to present the work and the relevant rights information.

  3. 03

    Lingorama Reviews the Submission

    The submission is reviewed for completeness and possible inclusion in the developing catalogue.

  4. 04

    Complete the Record

    If appropriate, Lingorama may request additional metadata, rights details, or supporting materials.

  5. 05

    Become Discoverable

    Approved works may be presented to international publishing professionals through the Lingorama catalogue as the platform develops.

Submitting a title or catalogue does not guarantee acceptance, licensing, translation, publication, representation, adaptation, or any commercial transaction.

Supporting the Agent’s Role

Lingorama is designed to support professional representation, not replace it.

The platform can help make represented works and available rights more visible, but literary agents and authorized rights representatives remain responsible for professional advice, submissions, negotiations, contracts, and rights strategy.

Any publishing, translation, licensing, representation, or adaptation arrangement must be considered and agreed upon separately by the appropriate parties.

A Developing Professional Infrastructure

The initial Lingorama platform will provide a structured foundation for presenting works and rights information. More advanced catalogue-management, discovery, communication, and rights-related functions may be introduced as the platform and its professional network grow.

Give Your List a Wider Reach

Present an individual represented work or contact Lingorama to discuss future participation for an agency catalogue.
