Description:

The successful candidate will be passionate, ambitious and hardworking, with a keen interest in the international book market across all genres, and have a demonstrable desire to progress within International Rights at the agency. They should thrive in a fast-paced, ever-evolving environment and have excellent administrative, organisational, time management and communication skills. Languages are beneficial but not essential.

 

As part of a busy team, this vital role will demand a strong sense of initiative, urgency and a desire to learn, coupled with an aptitude for multitasking while maintaining great attention to detail.

Responsibilities include (but are not limited to): supporting the team with the day-to-day running of the department, assisting with international rights for adult fiction and non-fiction, YA and children’s titles; reading submissions, creating agency marketing material; scheduling and attending book fairs; royalty, payment and contract processing; database inputting; responsibility for agency media in relation to international rights; handling international publicity for authors; liaising with our co-agented territories and, if experience deems it appropriate, directly with some of our international publishers in smaller markets; general office duties.
