Territorial Rights in the Digital Age (2012)
Acquisition and sale of territorial rights has a long history in traditional book publishing. Until digital books began to gain a foothold, publishers divided the world into territories characterized almost entirely by language. When digital books were introduced, publishers maintained the same approach to territoriality.
But are those practices still relevant as digital content becomes available worldwide?
This report builds on Exporting Digital Books: A Guide to Best Practices for Canadian Publishers, published in 2011. As Canadian publishers face the challenges of migrating from print-only to blended or even digital-only publishing models, this guide examines the extent to which traditional territories and boundaries remain relevant.
Of interest to Canadian publishers interested in selling rights globally, this guide answers key questions:
- What are the downsides of territorial rights?
- Do territorial rights as currently managed risk limiting sales?
- Do territorial rights potentially alienate “early adopters” of digital content?
Filled with insightful and straightforward advice, this guide provides recommendations for selling digital rights by territory (an extension of the existing model); retaining digital rights and selling through an international or local aggregator (or both); and retaining digital rights and selling directly. Also looks at business models that may affect future export sales, new or emerging content delivery options, and steps to take to improve overall digital readiness.
Includes market profiles for the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Australia, and China, as well as a snapshot of current practices and expectations among Canadian publishers. Also includes a list of resources consulted in preparing the guide.

Scouting Mission to the Nordic Countries (2011)
The growing worldwide popularity and currently enjoyed by authors from the Nordic countries is phenomenal. Stieg Larsson, Camilla Läckberg, Henning Mankell, Arnaldur Idridason, Nesbø Jo, to name a few, are beating sales records all over the planet.
The five Nordic countries – Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden – represent a population base of more than 25 million people, spread over 1,258,000 square kilometres. Literary culture is very rich and active, thanks to the networks of free public libraries that extend down to the smallest villages. Reading rates in the Nordic countries have long since broken records in Europe and the world over.
Given the growing interest in this region, Livres Canada Books organized an exploratory mission to determine the potential of this market for Canadian publishers in terms of rights sales and distribution. A delegation of three publishers together with the executive director of Livres Canada Books traveled to Sweden, Norway and Denmark from 6 to 10 June 2011 where it met with key stakeholders – associations, publishers, booksellers – and collected reliable information on this market. The mission’s report looks at the publishing industry in general and focuses specifically on trade publishing, children’s books and scholarly publishing.
