I want to carry your books or be an agent or buy direct:
We distribute our own books in South Africa and sell rights at the Frankfurt and London Book Fairs. We do not distribute for anyone that we don’t publish aside from the specific agencies that we represent in South Africa on behalf of the UK and US publishers.
We would like to be distributors for Jonathan Ball Publishers’ titles in a foreign country:

I have seen a title that I would like to buy, what is the process?
