Rights offerings
On a recent visit to PublishersMarketplace.com, you might have discovered that the Russian and Chinese reprint rights to The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Understanding Buddhism, Second Edition by Gary Gach, have been purchased, but that all other reprint rights are still available.
Or that Maligned Designs, Tish Cohen’s debut novel, is set in Boston and brimming with quirky characters who complicate the heroine’s life uproariously. In fact, you could read both a review and an extensive excerpt from Maligned Designs, and then followed hypertext links to contact the author or her agent.
