Founded in Istanbul, Turkey in 2005, Kalem Literary Agency represents more than eighty renowned Turkish authors and many literary translators in Turkey as well as various foreign publishers.
As a young and dynamic literary agency, we are in search of emerging voices and persevere to support and nurture their talent as they develop their writing careers. We are proud, too, of having worked with some of the most prominent and established contemporary Turkish authors.
Our focus is on fiction that ranges from high-quality literary works to commercial titles with mass-market appeal.
Translation rights are sold directly in most countries, including the US, UK, Germany, France, Spain, and Scandinavia. In some territories, we collaborate with our sub-agents.
Our philosophy is to provide an individual approach to each author as well as finding the right publisher both at home and abroad and developing original marketing and promotional strategies for each title. «View Less
