Author representation

Author representation refers to the relationship between an author and the organization or individual that manages their rights, publications, and licensing. When an author has representation, they work with agents or agencies that handle the distribution, sale, and licensing of their work, ensuring their rights are protected and they receive appropriate compensation. This arrangement allows authors to focus on creating content while the representative manages the business side. Essentially, it formalizes a partnership where the representative advocates for the author's interests in negotiations and licensing deals within the publishing, media, or other industries.
