Which is why many foreign publishers eagerly buy the rights to books published in the United States, in order to translate and republish them in their home country. These foreign rights deals can be highly profitable for US publishers, with very little effort. Of course, there is the added benefit that new readers around the world can get lost in your book. </p> <p> A major presence at foreign rights fairs, <cite>Foreword</cite> makes it easy—we are your indie book concierge to the world.
