The center of the US publishing industry and one of the world’s largest communities of literary agents and scouts, New York City is also home to a growing number of film production companies – all of whom are always on the lookout to license intellectual property and to purchase film rights.

The first New York Rights Fair opens for three days starting Wednesday, May 30 at Manhattan’s Metropolitan Pavilion. Manhattan is an ideal setting for a conference covering sales, negotiation and distribution of rights to content across all formats including print, digital, audio, film and television, notes Rachel Deahl, Executive Director of Programming for the New York Rights Fair as well as News Director at Publishers Weekly.
The center of the US publishing industry, New York has one of the world’s largest communities of literary agents and scouts, says Deahl. New York is also home to a growing number of film production companies, all of whom are always on the lookout to license intellectual property and to purchase film rights, she tells CCC’s Chris Kenneally.
Deahl’s colleague Krista Rafanello, PW Sr. Marketing Director and the NYRF Show Manager, joins her to preview the NYRF program.
Every Friday, CCC’s “Beyond the Book” speaks with the editors and reporters of “Publishers Weekly” for an early look at the news that publishers, editors, authors, agents and librarians will be talking about when they return to work on Monday.
