We are delighted to announce that after a 12-way-auction the Korean rights to The Meaning of you Life Explained by Frank Martela have been bought by Across Publishing Company. The deal was brokered by Danny Hong on behalf of Elina Ahlback Literary Agency. Rights have been sold also to Harper Collins in the US, to Ambo Anthos in the Netherlands, and to Eksmo/Bombora in Russia
The Koreans saw the huge potential this book has, and couldn’t let it go!
“Despite the short proposal, it was good enough to persuade me to take. The stories that are well mixed with various categories such as literature, philosophy, and human science would easily appeal to our readers. I would call it, one of greatest hybrid contents!”
– Mr. Hyeongbo Kim, CEO of Across
