At Publishing Perspectives Olivia Snaije reports on Strong Foreign Rights Sales for 2014 French Bestsellers, an interesting overview of the year.
"All in all a positive year", she sums up (though really, the French never have too many problems placing a lot of their stuff abroad).
Among the interesting titbits: several of the big titles sold widely abroad but not in the US/UK (including, apparently: Katherine "Pancol's chick-lit trilogy", Muchachas -- which, I think, we can all live with) -- and, astonishingly: "No foreign rights have been sold yet" for one of the biggest sellers of the year, Eric Zemmour's Le suicide français.
