ABOUT PRO CONNECT

Pro Connect helps publishers, agents and film executives discover self-published books they may be interested in acquiring, representing or optioning. Industry professionals who are actively engaged with Kirkus browse by category or search by theme. They also subscribe to weekly email alerts that showcase some of the authors and books in Pro Connect.

For authors, participation in Pro Connect could result in agent representation and/or the sale of U.S. publication rights, foreign rights or film rights. When an acquisitions editor, agent or film executive wants to inquire about an author’s work, he or she connects directly from the Pro Connect page, which begins a private, secure email dialogue.
