Course Description
Canadian publishing has had to reach out to the international market in order to survive and grow. Canada is a small publishing market with long distances so it is natural for the industry to look across borders in order to build a larger market for its work. Fortunately, Canada's international literary reputation has help publishers and authors build arguably one of the most successful Canadian cultural exports. This course examines the whole spectrum of international sales and how a publisher goes about making them. Key areas that will be covered include: an overview of subsidiary rights; the mechanics of selling internationally including creating book proposals, attending book fairs, licensing, agents and sub-agents, co-editions, international distribution and government policies and support.
