Praise for the eighth edition:

'Selling Rights really is the go-to resource for everything you need to know about rights licensing.'

- Ruth Tellis, BookBrunch

'Owen's meticulous book has served as a steady guide to rights licensing professionals inside publishing companies and literary agencies-especially in the UK where the book is written and published. As an American reader, and longtime user of various editions of this guide, I can say I have also found much that is completely relevant and useful for rights licensors and licensees on this side of the pond.'

- Kristin Klimann, Publishing Research Quarterly

'Selling Rights... remains as important for rights professionals today as it was when the first edition was published back in 1991. In those 28 years, it is a work that has provided great service to the publishing industry, offering highly practical advice to those engaged in negotiating sub-licences... Armed with a copy of the 8th edition of Selling Rights and its eminently clear and practical advice on all aspects of rights trading, we can be sure that rights professionals will be well set to tackle the uncertainties that lie ahead.

- Clare Hodder, Learned Publishing

'Selling Rights by Lynette Owen... is the ultimate guide to licensing subsidiary rights in the publishing sector and has been relied upon by industry professionals for over 30 years now... To describe the book as invaluable would understate the role that its practical information and advice played.'

- Amy Joyner, Logos

'Selling Rights is a convenient and accessible handbook that answers just about every conceivable question about the subject. This bible of information is now in its eighth edition from Routledge, and whether you work in trade, academic or specialist publishing, it is the next best thing to having Lynette on hand to help you. The book includes all the practical advice needed to sell rights, whether you are just starting out in the field or are a seasoned professional with many book fairs under your belt.'

- Caroline de la Bedoyere, Independent Publishers Guild
