O'Brien Press Rights Sold
In recent years the number of O'Brien Press books sold into translation has increased significantly -
an indicator of their quality and broad appeal. Many of the rights sales are negotiated at the Frankfurt
and Bologna book fairs, which we attend annually. Our interests are also represented by a number of
literary agents throughout the world. Here is a list of titles that have been
sold into translation or co-edition with other publishers. Note that this does not include any deal
currently under negotiation, so watch this space for developments!
Select any book or cover for more information on the title.
There is a dedicated list of rights available for O'Brien Press children's titles in North America here.
