The Reykjavik Literary Agency represents authors and titles in the field of literary fiction, crime fiction, classics, narrative non-fiction, non-fiction and children’s books from various Icelandic publishers.

RLA is owned by Forlagid, Iceland’s largest publishing house, but operates independently. We have something to offer to everyone; quality fiction and non-fiction to publishers and production companies world-wide and a great expertise in handling translation rights for our authors, many of whom are amongst the most successful and critically acclaimed writers in Iceland. The Reykjavik Literary Agency sells rights world-wide, directly and through sub-agents.

Reykjavik Literary Agency consists of Valgerdur (Vala) Benediktsdottir, Stella Johannesdottir and Thora Eiriksdottir. Combined, we have over 50 years’ experience in book publishing and rights selling.
