What Our Customers Are Saying
“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!
Lily Cole
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.”
Christopher Robbins
CEO & FOUNDER OF FAMILIUS PUBLISHING“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.”
John Köehler
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.”
