• Constant contact with editors and art directors through visits and portfolio presentations
• Representation at all the major book fairs—London, Bologna, Frankfurt – and regular presentation of the portfolio in New York
• Exploitation of rights in all media
• Negotiation of contracts and advance and royalties
• Advice on career paths, suggesting new directions where appropriate
• Advice on the strengths of different publishers’ lists
