For Authors
Help Your Books Travel Further
Lingorama is built around the idea that books should travel. The platform is being developed to help authors increase the international visibility of their work and explore opportunities across languages, territories, and formats.
A Book Can Have More Than One Life
A book may begin in one language, one country, or one publishing market, but its potential journey can extend much further.
Translation, territorial publication, audio, stage, screen, educational, and digital formats can give a work new lives and introduce it to audiences beyond its original edition.
Lingorama is creating a multilingual environment where authors and their representatives can present works, clarify rights information, and make books more discoverable to publishers, agents, translators, and rights professionals working internationally.
How Lingorama Supports Authors
Increase International Visibility
Present your work in an environment designed around languages, territories, publishing markets, and literary discovery.
Explore Translation Opportunities
Help suitable works become visible to professionals interested in translation and publication in other languages.
Present Available Rights
Communicate which translation, territorial, audio, screen, educational, or other subsidiary rights may be available.
Connect with a Wider Ecosystem
Become discoverable to publishers, agents, translators, and rights professionals working across international markets.
Show the Life of a Work
Bring together information about editions, translations, publication history, and the continuing potential of a book.
Prepare for Future Opportunities
Create a structured title record that can support future conversations about translation, licensing, and international circulation.
Who Can Present a Title?
Authors Who Control Their Rights
Authors who retain the relevant rights to their work may submit a title directly for consideration.
Submit a Title →Independent and Self-Published Authors
Authors acting as their own publishers may present eligible works and identify the rights and territories currently available.
Submit a Title →Authors Represented by an Agent
If a literary agent manages the relevant rights, the author should coordinate with the agent before submitting the work.
Literary Agents →Authors Working with a Publisher
If a publisher controls translation, territorial, or subsidiary rights, the title should be submitted or authorized by the publisher or appropriate rights representative.
Publishers →Before You Submit
Before presenting a title, determine who controls the rights you wish to make visible. Depending on the publishing agreement, those rights may belong to the author, publisher, literary agent, or another authorized representative.
Please submit a title only if you control the relevant rights or have authorization from the rights holder.
The preliminary submission form does not require a complete manuscript or confidential publishing contract. Lingorama may request additional information if the title is considered suitable for the developing catalogue.

Confirm that you control the relevant rights or are authorized to submit the work on behalf of the rights holder.
03

04
Provide Additional Information
If appropriate, Lingorama may request further metadata, rights details, or supporting materials.
05
Become Discoverable
Approved titles may be presented to international publishing professionals through the Lingorama catalogue as the platform develops.
Submitting a title does not guarantee catalogue inclusion, representation, translation, licensing, publication, or any commercial transaction.
A Platform for Discovery, Not Literary Representation
Lingorama is a developing discovery and rights-information platform. It is not acting as a literary agent, publisher, legal adviser, or automatic licensing service.
The platform is designed to help make works and rights opportunities more visible. Any representation, translation, publishing, or licensing arrangement must be considered and agreed upon separately by the appropriate parties.
