As a book publisher, we love working with partners who can help us provide better services and sales for our authors.
DropCap does just that with superb international rights and audio representation for our work. After several successful
deals they have secured on our behalf, I highly recommend them to other publishers—if you should be so lucky to be taken
on board their agency.
CEO KOEHLER BOOKS
As a newly self-published author, I had absolutely no idea who to trust or where to start to get my book published internationally.
They demystified the world of foreign rights and made the process unbelievably simple for me as an author.
DROPCAP AUTHOR WITH 27 LANGUAGES SOLD
No other publisher has the same book discoverability system that you have—your platform
is very convenient for us as rights buyers in India.
I can see all the books and publishers at once, which is big because you represent so many!
MANAGING EDITOR AT MANJUL PUBLISHING HOUSE
DropCap has really taken our publishing company to the next level. Not only do they fill
a gaping hole in the indie author marketplace, but they’re so friendly, organized,
and perceptive.
Considering they have no actual competition for their innovative international rights service,
DropCap could opt to be over-priced divas, but just the opposite is the case. We have gotten
so much bang for our book bucks!
CEO & FOUNDER BEAVER’S POND PRESS
We’ve now done hundreds of thousands of dollars in rights and I’ve found them to be a fantastic partner in every way.
My recommendation is that you work with them as they will make your books more discoverable,
the number one challenge we all have.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How do I know if my book is right for DropCap Marketplace?
At DropCap Marketplace, we believe that any author with a published book has the potential to find success in foreign markets. Our marketplace was built to help authors of all backgrounds showcase their work to international buyers. If you’ve put care into creating your book and are excited about expanding its reach, this platform was designed for you.
-
What types of books are most successful on DropCap Marketplace?
International buyers are looking for everything from commercial fiction to niche nonfiction, children’s books, and more. The best way to see if your book could be a fit? Explore the marketplace! You can search by genre and category to find books similar to yours that are already generating interest.
Ultimately, buyers look for well-crafted, professionally presented books with clear appeal to readers beyond their home market, but that can mean many different things. If you’ve invested in your book and believe in its potential, we encourage you to list it and make it available to our global network of publishing partners.
-
What happens if my book doesn’t attract buyers?
Not every book will generate immediate interest, but listing on DropCap Marketplace is a long-term opportunity. International rights deals often take time, and buyer interest can come in waves. Our team continuously promotes the marketplace to global publishing partners, and your book remains discoverable as those connections grow. We also encourage authors to update their listings as they gain more reviews, awards, or media attention.
-
Can I cancel if I realize it's not a fit?
Yes. While we hope you’ll stay for the full term to give your book the best chance at success, you can cancel your subscription at any time. Your listing will remain active for the duration of your paid period, and then it will be removed. We always welcome you back if your circumstances change, or if you’d like to relist in the future.
-
What if I’m still unsure?
We completely understand! Choosing how to promote your book internationally is a big decision. If you’d like personalized guidance, our team is happy to help. Contact us here, and we’ll help you determine if DropCap Marketplace is a good fit for your goals.
