                  new subsites

To provide greater service to our publishing partners the agency has launched two new information subsites.
In particular, now, publishers interested in contemporary Russian literature can quickly orientate themselves and find out more using standard market criteria:

Awards.wiedling-litag.com

allows you to browse the range of awards won by the authors our agency represents as well as view short explanations of the major Russian literary prizes.

Topseller.wiedling-litag.com

enables you to gain an impression of our agency’s range via our TOP 10 listing of successfully sold translation rights.

It is always a very individual decision when acquiring translation rights for a Russian title. We thus hope AWARDS and TOPSELLER offers a little insight and impulse for you.

Last, but not least, it honours our authors, of whom the agency is very proud.

   new representation

The agency proudly announces the wordlwide representation of all works by one of the most famous contemporary Belarusian authors: VIKTOR MARTINOVICH.

From his provocative debut novel PARANOIA – banned from book stores in Belarus – to his mindcrashing Dystopia MOVA up to his recently finished new novel REVOLUTION, Martinovich is – by all means of literature – exploring and analysing human behaviour and conditio humana under autocratic conditions.

»No political novel could be more up-to-date or oppressive.« Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung

Most of his novels are published parallel in Belarusian and Russian languages.
