Over the years, Writers House has teamed up with many agencies
in the entertainment industry to sell or license film, television, stage, and
merchandising rights for our clients. At times, we also conduct such business
independently. Regardless of the arrangement, we are always involved in the negotiation
process to ensure the best terms for our clients and to protect the long-term
rights to their books.
