LANGUAGE AGENTS

You have seen a sample of the texts that I can offer in various languages above. You can click "your flag" and then "books" for information about the books I have available in your language (or visit Amazon to enter Andres Laszlo Jr.). Of course, I would be delighted if you were willing to take on something that is challenging for me to manage (such as "German Books"). However, I am more reluctant to "part with" something in an attractive language, so in such a case, you would need to convince me of your capabilities.

GENRE AGENTS

My fictional genres include general fiction, historical novels, romantic comedies, biographies and autobiographies, children's literature, adventure, murder mysteries, and short stories. Some keywords are: vampire, irony, feminism, romcom, tragicomic, Viking, Norse mythology, Islam, man-eating tigers, and the Sundarbans. For individual genre agency: Read More

E-BOOK/POD PROMOTION AGENTS

The books, particularly those for which I cannot find traditional publishers, will be promoted as e-books/POD (Amazon: enter Andres Laszlo Jr.). If you feel "I know exactly where I want this book listed, priced, described, and promoted!" please contact me.

ESTATE MANAGEMENT AGENT

I own rights to the texts of my father’s books (seven books plus twenty-five translations) and films (three), as well as some distribution rights and scripts. I am also a competent writer myself with over twenty books (including translations). For twenty years, I have worked on advancing “The Laszlo & Laszlo Project” without any serious attempts at commercialising it, but now I have decided to do so. To maintain control, I plan to utilise platforms such as Amazon and my homepage. However, in a way, what I seek is someone with the skills of a literary estate agency who could manage several aspects of my project (preferably seated at the desk next to mine, along with my photo/computer guy, maybe here in Fuengirola, Spain). Yet, with such skills, you wouldn't be reading this, would you…

BOOK-FAIR BOOKINGS AGENT

I am seeking someone to schedule meetings at the major book fairs in Frankfurt, Bologna, London, and, why not, China. Although I am not skilled at self-promotion, I feel comfortable meeting and negotiating with publishers and agents. However, I require someone with a magical touch to reach out to publishers and agents for books in English, Spanish, French, Swedish, Italian, or German. Specifically, I need this person to connect books with publishers and agents, work their magic, and serve as my booking agent. Let’s meet in person and take it from there.

LITERARY COMPETITION/GRANTS AGENTS

Three children's books, 50 short stories (15+ suitable for competition), two books on drug policy, and seven texts by a top European writer that I have improved so significantly that perhaps one could publish them as "new books," alongside a Viking adventure series and family chronicles unlike anything written before. All of these are seeking competitions to enter, as well as grants for publication, media conversion, and promotion.
