About Us
After 21 years working as the executive scout for Aram Fox Inc., Jenny La Plante took the helm, poised to build upon its tradition of literary excellence. Thus, in January 2022, Aram Fox, Inc. became Jenny La Plante, Inc. With the support of our esteemed staff of pro scouts, we continue to use our literary and book industry expertise to help international publishers bring North American books to the global market. We also help film/television companies to identify material primed for all screens big and small. With our fingers on the pulse of the ever-evolving marketplace, we cover a wide variety of book genres spanning the full range of adult fiction and nonfiction to children’s picture, middle grade, and young adult books, focusing our corporate efforts in three key areas:
Ambassadorship
Book publishing is a people business, and rights holders are increasingly invested in finding the best international and film partners for their authors and creators. We act as an enthusiastic liaison for our clients with agents and publishers, strongly advocating for our clients’ interests in a competitive marketplace. Additionally, we love directly connecting likeminded creatives and helping foster relationships across oceans and industries!
Expert Curation
We put the right projects in front of the right clients. Book publishing’s wonderfully diverse and increasingly fragmented landscape makes filtering an integral part of our job. Efficiently sifting through the deluge of manuscripts and nonfiction treatments available, we are highly attentive to the specific demands of readers and viewers within each culture, making recommendations via our thorough and concise reader’s reports.
Market Strategy
We are highly attuned to the dynamic, macro marketing and sales landscape of global publishing and media and, accordingly, help our clients with strategy. Marketing approaches across the spectrum of entertainment companies are rapidly changing, and we remain intimately knowledgeable and flexible, adjusting our own strategy, advice, and services to best help our clients take advantage of the many global opportunities available!
