ABOUT KINGSLEY RIGHTS AGENCY
At Kingsley Rights Agency, we believe a great book can become much more than a book.
A compelling story can reach readers through traditional publishing, cross international borders through translation and licensing, and potentially evolve into film, television, or other forms of entertainment.
Our role is to identify that potential and develop a strategic pathway for each property.
We work with authors to professionally position their work, develop presentation materials, evaluate market opportunities, and pursue appropriate publishing and entertainment opportunities.
Our philosophy is simple:
Great stories deserve great representation.
OUR MISSION
To represent exceptional authors and intellectual properties with professionalism, strategic insight, and a long-term vision for their potential.
We aim to create meaningful connections between authors, publishers, producers, studios, distributors, and international rights markets.
OUR VISION
To become a trusted international destination for literary properties with the potential to cross from the page into multiple markets and media.
We envision a publishing and entertainment ecosystem where authors can build sustainable careers and where distinctive stories are given the opportunity to reach audiences around the world.
OUR CORE VALUES
INTEGRITY
We value honest communication and professional conduct.
EXCELLENCE
We pursue a high standard in every aspect of representation.
CONFIDENTIALITY
We treat authors, manuscripts, negotiations, and business information with appropriate discretion.
STRATEGY
We believe opportunities are strongest when they are approached with preparation and purpose.
RELATIONSHIPS
Publishing and entertainment are relationship-driven industries. We believe professional relationships should be built for the long term.
VISION
We look beyond today's transaction toward tomorrow's possibilities.
