Our Foreign Rights are handled with Sandy Hodgman, who has worked in publishing for over twenty-five years. In the course of her career, she has licensed UK and translation rights for both major US publishers and independent literary agencies.  Sandy is a fixture at the London Book Fair and the Frankfurt Book Fair and maintains relationships with foreign publishers to promote our titles throughout the year.
