The Susan Schulman Literary Agency, LLC represents authors of fiction, non-fiction, plays and musicals as well as select independent publishers and independent agencies for derivative rights. In addition to literary representation the agency publishes through its Goodreads Press, Modern Times and Playsmith imprints. The agency specializes in the development of each individual property across all appropriate markets. Each property is evaluated for its potential in publishing, including the translation markets, film and television, and audio and podcast.

The combination of outstanding authors and expertise in licensing of intellectual properties across all markets is a successful combination for clients and attests to the past achievements and future promise of the agency.

The Schulman Agency’s subsidiary rights team has built close relationships over decades of experience with co-agents in all key markets and with both specialist and general trade publishers in major and developing markets around the world. We attend the Frankfurt and London Book fairs annually and select other international fairs and venues. Titles are featured and promoted individually and also listed in multiple, widely-disseminated guides and catalogues, starting in advance of publication, through to backlist management. All titles receive a significant portion of our attention and we have tremendous proven success in both placements and on-going rights administration worldwide. The rights department also works with the full spectrum of audio publishers to license audio rights as well and widely as possible. A list of our co-agents can be found here.
