Nordlyset Literary Agency

About this Agency

We are literary agents with more than 40 years of combined international publishing experience. We offer insider expertise on the publishing process, deal negotiation, marketing, subsidiary rights, and reaching the global marketplace.

We represent individual authors of quality nonfiction including popular science and history by experts in their fields writing for a wide audience, current affairs, psychology, and self-help as well as literary and women’s fiction, and children’s YA and MG books. We will help you to find the right publisher for your work, and navigate every stage of the publishing process with you.

We also represent a wide range of subsidiary rights for independent publishers in North America, Europe, Australia, and South Africa. We maximize the value of our clients’ properties by licensing and facilitating publications worldwide for greater impact and increased exposure and profitability for each title.

With our wide-ranging contacts, we leverage access to global publishing, audio, film/tv, and other licensing opportunities for publishers and agents who don’t have the internal resources to do so themselves. We offer significantly increased exposure of our publishing clients’ brands to foreign publishers and other licensors.

Partner with us and we’ll help your books reach their fullest potential in the US and around the world.
