Our Services
US Global Connect and Jade Lotus Literary Agency offer a focused set of cross-border publishing services for Asian authors seeking Western publication, Western authors seeking Asian market entry, and publishers on both sides seeking pre-screened titles.
Three Separate Service Tracks
Asian Literary Authors (JLLA representation) — No upfront fees. JLLA earns a commission only if your work is placed with a publisher. This is traditional literary agency representation for fiction, memoir, and narrative nonfiction. Learn more →
Asian Business & Professional Authors (USGC publishing services) — Fee-based production service. You pay for translation, editing, formatting, and Amazon KDP publication. You retain full copyright and receive all royalties directly. This is not literary representation. Learn more →
Western Authors (East-West Literary Exchange) — No upfront fees. USGC facilitates introductions to Asian publishing partners. Formal agreements are negotiated directly between rights holder and acquiring publisher. Learn more →
For Asian Authors
JLLA provides full-service English-language representation for Asian authors — handling the entire pipeline from manuscript to submission.
- Manuscript evaluation — Honest feedback on Western market potential before committing to representation
- Translation coordination — Three-stage workflow: AI draft → bilingual quality review → English editorial polish
- Publisher targeting and submission — Curated submissions to publishers in North America, the UK, and Australia with complete bilingual submission packets
- Rights management — Contract review, negotiation support, and ongoing rights administration
- Author communication — All correspondence in the author’s language; regular updates throughout the process
- Self-publishing representation — For authors seeking direct market access through JLLA’s self-publishing track: manuscript preparation, formatting, and KDP publication support under JLLA representation. Separate from and not to be confused with USGC’s fee-based Professional Publishing Services for Asian Business Writers.

For Publishers
We provide English-language publishers with a curated pipeline of Asian literary works — pre-screened for rights clarity, Western market readiness, and editorial quality. Every title we submit has prior publication history in its home market and a complete bilingual submission packet. See our Publishers page →
