The Rights Factory is an agency that deals in intellectual property rights to entertainment products, including books, comics & graphic novels, film, television, and video games. We license rights in every territory by representing three types of clients:

— Individual authors whose work we license internationally.
— Entertainment rights-holders who wish to expand their narrative brands and franchises into the literary market.
— Foreign agents and publishers, for whom we license rights on a commission basis.

We work directly with publishers, producers, studios, game developers and other rights-buyers in all territories, occasionally in conjunction with local representatives.
The Rights Factory was founded in 2004 by literary agent Sam Hiyate and media lawyer Christos Grivas.

Our team includes: Associate Agents Alisha Sevigny, Kelvin Kong (Foreign Rights), and Ali McDonald (Children's & YA); our multi-talented admin assistant Chloë Marck; and crackerjack interns Patricia Fulton, Anne Robinson, and Allison Smith.
