Your Literary Agents. Globally.
We make global rights representation accessible to independent authors.
RightsWord connects authors with 1,500+ international publishers across 50+ countries, turning your book into a worldwide opportunity - without the barriers of traditional literary agencies.
We Win When You Win
The international rights market has always been reserved for well-connected publishers and established literary agents. Independent authors were left out - unable to navigate the complex world of foreign rights, translation deals, and international contracts.
We changed that. RightsWord was built to turn rights agency into an accessible product. We handle the global outreach, publisher relationships, and deal coordination so you can focus on what you do best - writing.
Our model is simple: we only succeed when you do. No upfront fees, no retainers, no risk to you.

Not Just Another Agency
We are not unique because of a single feature. We are unique because of our position. We turned rights agency from an exclusive service into an accessible product for every author.
Zero Financial Risk
Most agencies charge hundreds to thousands of dollars upfront before any deal is made. With our Free and Solo plans you pay zero commission. Our Premium plan charges 20% only on successful deals — and the $199 fee is credited back from your first commissions.
Proactive, Active Outreach
Most authors wait to be discovered. We actively reach out to 1,500+ publishers across 50+ countries on your behalf - opening doors you didn't know existed.
Built for Independent Authors
Most rights agencies work exclusively with represented authors or publishing houses. We work directly with indie authors, giving you access to the same global market.
Simple, Transparent Structure
Clear, tiered pricing: Free plan at $0, Solo at $99 with no commission, Premium at $199 with 20% commission. No retainer fees. No reading fees. No hidden costs.
You Keep Your Rights
We never take production or original rights. We only handle translation rights for specific languages. You maintain full control over your source material at all times.
Our Role in the Process
We Manage and Coordinate
RightsWord manages the entire process on your behalf - from identifying the right publishers to coordinating the terms of any deal. We handle the outreach, follow-ups, and negotiations so you don't have to.
We Are Not a Legal Party
It is important to understand that RightsWord acts as a facilitator and coordinator of terms - not as a legal party to the publishing contract. The final agreement is always between the author and the publisher directly. We recommend that authors seek independent legal counsel before signing any contract.
Quality-First Approach
Not every book is accepted. We maintain a careful screening process with professional standards to protect our reputation with international publishers. Books without proof of market interest or clear rights ownership are respectfully declined.
