WELCOME TO THE PENGUIN CANADA RIGHTS WEBSITE
We hope that our website will be an invaluable resource for all of your rights enquiries. We'll keep you up to date on our recent acquisitions, deal news and highlights here on our home page.
For detailed information about our latest titles and to find out whether rights in your territory are still available, simply click on the Adult or Young Reader's links. We've also posted our latest rights guides here in downloadable PDF format. As part of our corporate green initiatives, we'll only be printing a small quantity of rights guides to take with us to the London and Frankfurt book fairs, so we'll be directing you to the electronic version going forward.
This year, Lisa Rundle will be attending the London Book Fair, and she's very much looking forward to meeting with our international co-agents and scouts, and editors from houses around the world. Our stand number is H 505.
Please enjoy your visit, and check in with us often for our latest news.
