We do give Editors our feedback on where we think a book may work abroad before it's acquired but don't tend to meet with agents in a buying capacity. Hope that helps!NaomiCartwrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653249549709394006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701894736280253278.post-44373384855999782272012-03-07T15:27:59.618+00:002012-03-07T15:27:59.618+00:00I want to say fascinating and interesting too.

But, I was wondering, does a rights person also acquire? In which case, do you sit on both sides of the table at a book fair?
