Riviera Artists Agency is passionate about discovering and nurturing new storytellers across a number of disciplines and we explore every opportunity available for our clients, including international territory sales and TV/Film rights acquisitions.
Although a boutique agency, we have a vast network of international contacts in the publishing, television and motion picture industries, with a presence in the UK, France and Spain. We also have good relationships with larger agencies in New York and Los Angeles, offering further opportunities for our clients.
Riviera Artists Agency has acquired Socciones Publishing, an established award-winning UK business that offers high-quality self-publishing services to authors. Socciones also offer expert marketing services for self-publishers that are tried and tested, including Amazon ad campaigns and Booktoker collaborations, so authors no longer need a publishing house behind them in order to reach a large audience.
Whether you’re struggling to secure an agent or desire full creative control and higher royalties, without waiting years to get published, our collaboration empowers you. While traditional publishing remains strong, publishers aren’t willing to take many risks these days, so self-publishing has opened up a world of opportunity for authors.
If you’re interested in editing, self-publishing or professional advice head over to www.socciones.co.uk for further information.
