There’s always a story behind it…

SEMMELBLOND SCRIPT AGENCY

We support and place authors and their works for literature, film and other media. We also arrange translation rights for international authors, publishing houses and agencies.

We use our experience to offer your works and their copyrights in the best possible way, to arrange the related organisational and contractual matters with publishers, producers etc. and find individual solutions for you.

I love Jane Austen and Stefan Zweig – like adventurous musicals about our matriarchal future.

My first recollectible reading experience:
the tomes of Liselotte Welskopf-Henrich

I believe there is no better match than a good book with a good coffee.

According to Novalis, our life should be a novel – not constituted, but made by ourselves – and I think that’s beautiful.

We regularly offer internships (currently online). The minimum period is 2 months. Please apply by email with the usual documents.
