Pasadena, CA February 19th, 2018 Incorgnito Publishing Press has signed an agreement with German based, The Wittmann Agency, to represent Incorgnito's key titles for international rights sales. Wittmann founder, Claudia Wittmann, met with Incorgnito representatives Janice Bini and Michael Conant at the 2017 Frankfurt Book Fair, this past October.
Foreign rights sales are an integral part of a publisher's marketing strategy. 'The Wittmann agency brings Incorgnito reach into international markets for our authors. Where we would have little or no knowledge in those markets, The Wittman Agency has acquired years of experience representing authors and publishers across Europe, Asia, and other areas. This is a major step in our overall marketing strategy. Revealed Mr. Conant, president of Incorgnito.
Incorgnito will list six titles with Wittmann to start 2018 and add appropriate titles to their catalog as the publishing season progresses. Several titles with Wittman are series that will continue for the next two years and offer the potential for a strong international audience build.
Incorgnito has also acquired two titles from UK based publishing houses, both the result of Incorgnito's attendance at the 2017 Frankfurt Book Fair. As Janice Bini explained, 'We initially attended the Fair to find representation for our titles, but we were introduced to the idea of acquiring US rights of foreign authors, from our 'walk about of the enormous event. With so many offerings from local-market publishing houses, it made sense to look at both sides of the rights equation.
Incorgnito reports that press releases about the newly acquired international titles are in the works.
