Want Us To Consider Your Book For International Representation?

1. Keller Media will review your book, your book’s sales numbers, and your social media profiles (if any).

2. We may invite you to submit the digital version of the book (.PDF or .DOCX) for our additional review.

3. IF we believe that your book is likely to have foreign translation potential, then:

  • We will offer you a limited representation agreement.
  • We will place your book cover and Amazon description in our catalog.
  • Our industry-standard commission is 20% on all rights we will sell for you, anywhere in the world. Example: If we sell your translation rights in one or more countries for the equivalent of $10,000 USD, then you net $2000 after our commission.
  • You will deposit a non-refundable advance of $500 against our future commissions.
  • We will promote your book to likely publishers and agents around the world for one year. That will include at the Frankfurt Buchmesse and the London Book Fair.
  • You will get quarterly reports listing which countries are considering your book for translation.
  • You will be notified immediately every time an offer is made to acquire your translation rights.
  • We will negotiate the best terms possible in every case and give you our best advice.
  • No contract is EVER valid without your signature.
  • You will get ongoing royalty statements and checks/ACH deposits for the duration of your book’s licensing term in those countries (usually 5 or 7 years).
