Rights Exchange

Aimed at becoming the centre for international rights business, the RX provides a platform to content providers, such as publishers and literary agents, to engage in possible collaborative projects on translation, digital and print publishing and co-publishing, and other derivative works.

The RX is a structured session with pre-arranged appointments for the publishers and agents to connect and discuss their rights negotiations. Publishers need to be registered delegates to be able to participate at the RX. The platform creates a unique opportunity for publishers to meet each other one-on-one to tentatively finalise agreements and interests in the sale/transfer of rights.

Participants must have the rights to sell any of the following:

• unpublished/published manuscripts;
• translation projects;
• license/rights for secondary publishers to reproduce the manuscript in print, microform or any digitally readable form, including but not limited to e-pub and electronic online databases; and, license/rights to reprint through third parties for manuscripts, translations and other derivative works based on a manuscript.

The AFCC RX is pleased to announce the following core participants prepped for pre-scheduling.

Download and fill up the registration form to book your meetings, and submit them on or before 15 May 2015. Email your registration forms and enquiries on RX to Carlo Venson Peña / [email protected]

Additional core participants will be announced accordingly.
