OUR SERVICES FOR ASIAN AUTHORS & WESTERN AUTHORS
Note: We connect Western and Asian voices through carefully selected, non-political works designed for cross-cultural readership.
For Western Authors
US Global Connect provides a focused set of services designed to support the movement of content across borders. These services are structured to address the practical requirements of international publishing collaboration, particularly between Western authors and Asian markets.
Publishing Connections
We serve as a conduit between Western authors and Asian publishers by identifying opportunities for collaboration and facilitating initial introductions. This process involves assessing alignment between content and market demand, as well as identifying appropriate publishing partners within specific regions.
Rights and Translation Coordination
Cross-border publishing requires careful handling of intellectual property rights and translation processes. We support the acquisition and coordination of translation rights, working with relevant parties to ensure clarity in agreements and alignment in expectations. Our role is to facilitate—not replace—the formal legal and contractual processes involved.
Editorial Coordination
We assist in identifying and engaging qualified editors in Asian markets who are capable of working with English-language content. This includes bridging linguistic and cultural nuances to ensure that translated or adapted works maintain coherence and relevance.
Market Alignment Support
We provide general guidance on positioning content for specific markets, based on observed trends and audience preferences. This support helps ensure that content is presented in a manner consistent with regional expectations.
These services are offered selectively and are structured to support efficient collaboration rather than comprehensive project management.
For Asian Authors
In addition to supporting Western authors entering Asian markets, US Global Connect works closely with Asian authors seeking to reach readers in the United States and other Western markets. Through our literary arm, Jade Lotus Literary Agency (JLLA), we focus on identifying and developing works that resonate with Western audiences, particularly in areas such as culture, history, and society.
Our approach is selective and context-driven. We recognize that successful cross-border publication requires more than translation—it requires thoughtful positioning, editorial alignment, and an understanding of how narratives are received in different cultural settings. We work with authors to prepare their work for international readership, including refining structure, language, and presentation where needed.
We also facilitate connections with publishers, agents, and platforms that are appropriate for each work’s genre and audience. This process is designed to ensure that each title is introduced in a way that reflects both its original intent and its relevance to new readers.
Through this integrated approach, US Global Connect and JLLA aim to support Asian authors in extending the reach of their voices while maintaining the integrity and depth of their work.
