THE AGENCY 

The French Publishers’ Agency represents the English language rights to a highly selective yet widely diverse list of books from France, ranging from literary fiction to nonfiction titles, social sciences and humanities. As an affiliate of the Bureau International de l’Édition Française (BIEF), it represents an average of sixty different member publishers each year. 

The agency’s most recognizable titles are found in the fiction section, including The Meursault Investigation by Kamel Daoud, Suite Française by Irène Némirovsky, and The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery, and many more from authors like Anna Gavalda, Amélie Nothomb, Assia Djebar, Laurent Gaudé, Alain Mabanckou, Dany Laferrière, Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt, and Emmanuel Carrère.

A predilection for the big names in literature and nonfiction has given way to a preference for contemporary novels and new, provocative thinkers.

If you are an editor who is interested in acquiring or evaluating any of these titles, please contact us.
