Offering individual focus and a global reach, William Clark represents a wide range of titles across all formats to the publishing, film, television, and digital fields on behalf of clients ranging from authors of award-winning, best-selling narrative non-fiction, fiction, and illustrated books, to authors in translation, chefs, musicians, and artists.

The agency undertakes to discover, develop, and market authors who deepen and expand our understanding and appreciation of the world, forge innovative plans for their platform growth, and establish reliable revenue streams for an enduring creative career.

In addition to selling directly in all English language markets, William Clark Associates sells translation rights directly in most European countries and through corresponding agents in the rest of the world. Other network partners provide services including editorial consultation, media training, lecture booking, marketing support, and public relations.
