Searching the Horizon for the Next Chapter
Identifying standout titles for French publishers
Who am I?
I am Dave, a literary scout working across all genres, with particular expertise in speculative fiction and its many subgenres. A Welshman living in Paris, I collaborate with French publishers to identify high-potential international titles for translation, publication, and audio adaptation within the French market.
My work spans both traditional and digital publishing landscapes, with a focus on stories that combine strong narrative momentum with clear commercial potential. I support publishers in identifying and acquiring print, digital, and audiobook rights, helping them anticipate emerging trends and secure titles positioned for long-term success.
By building bridges between international authors, agents, and the French publishing ecosystem, I aim to help distinctive and compelling stories reach new audiences across languages, formats, and markets.
