AMV AGENCIA LITERARIA was founded in 1995 after 12 years as NALI (NUEVA AGENCIA LITERARIA INTERNACIONAL). We represent French authors for publication rights and the sale of their works to Spanish and Portuguese-speaking countries, and we also represent Spanish and Portuguese authors for publication rights and the sale of their works to other countries. Besides our own catalogue, we represent Spani
sh RDC Literary Agency in France and Italy and together with the Swiss Liepman Agency, we handle the rights of the Anne Frank Foundation. Over the years we have opened the way to France (first and then to other countries) to authors like Arturo Pérez-Reverte, Antonio Muñoz Molina, Elvira Lindo, Soledad Puértolas, Espido Freire, Lucía Etxebarría, Elia Barceló, Pablo Tusset, Juan Manuel de Prada, Carmen Posadas, Juan José Millas, Ian Gibson, Federico Andahazi, Laura Esquivel and Ángeles Mastretta, among others. We broadened this representation with the addition of other Latin American writers such as Héctor Abad and Roberto Burgos Cantor, both Colombian; Carmen Boullosa and Joaquín Guerreo-Casasola, Mexican; Francisco Coloane, Jaime Collyer, Jorge Guzmán and Lina Meruane, all Chilean; the Cuban authors Pedro Juan Gutiérrez and Carlos Victoria; Rolo Diez, Myriam Laurini, Raúl Argemí and Carlos Salem, all Argentinian; Amalia Decker and Juan Claudio Lechín, Bolivians; Juan David Morgan, Panamanian and Fernando Aguirre, Uruguaian, among others. As far as Spanish speaking authors are concerned, our catalogue includes writers like Gabriela Bustelo, Jerónimo Tristante, Paco López Mengual, Paco López Diago, a list that has recently included Javier Lorenzo, José Luis Gil Soto, Juan Vilches and the Nobel Prize Juan Ramón Jiménez. We continue to work defending copyright, developing new contacts each day and hoping to reach those who need our services. In our role as intermediaries in negotiating these rights, we strive to obtain the best agreement for everyone, defending the authors and, at the same time, trying to satisfy the publishers. Our work is exciting, as much for the texts that our writers afford us as for the contacts they bring and the friendships that develop. Anne-Marie Vallat
