The Fielding Agency is a full-service literary agency that handles the foreign rights for titles on behalf of many prominent literary agencies and publishers and also represents a select number of authors domestically.
The Fielding Agency works closely with foreign co-agents and publishers in over 35 territories and helps agencies place their books abroad without having to establish a foreign rights department in-house or relying on a US publisher’s subsidiary rights department. We are responsible for every step of the foreign submission, sale, and publication for each book we handle.
