OUR APPROACH
Where Ideas Find Their Voice
Lingua Nova exists to help experts, storytellers, and visionaries refine their message, find the right partners, and build the foundation for lasting impact.
Our full-service approach to literary representation is designed to provide authors with real architecture for every stage of the publishing process and beyond.
01
Editorial Rigor
We work closely with authors to craft proposals and manuscripts that are sharp, compelling and strategically positioned to garner the biggest responses from publishers, without ever sacrificing the author's authentic voice, intention, or goals for their projects.
02
Strategic Negotiation
We bring years of experience negotiating major deals to every contract. Our job is to not only ensure strong financial terms, but to find the editors who can enhance and amplify an author's vision, and publishers who are mission-aligned with their goals for the work.
03
Partnership for the Long Game
We are strategic partners for the entirety of the publication process. We work with our authors to build the teams they need, and to position each book to support their larger objectives. We then work with their publisher's sales, publicity, and marketing teams to secure key media and retail placements, and the accolades that matter most for that author's field and vision.
04
Built to Support, Built to Scale
Lingua Nova is boutique by design, but our network is robust. Through our partners and connections, our clients have access to best-in-class contracts support, international rights experts, ghostwriters and collaborators, publicists, marketers, events organizers, film and podcast producers, and more.
