About HRM

Sarah Hershman, Manager

Sarah is the manager of Hershman Rights Management (HRM), a licensing literary agency created to work with authors and publishers to maximize the usage of their subsidiary rights. Prior to HRM, Sarah acquired audio rights for Tantor Media as a Senior Acquisitions Editor. During her time at Tantor, she selected hundreds of titles to turn into audiobooks. On a daily basis she read through submissions from literary agents, publishers, and self published authors to determine if their books or concepts would sell well. In order to do her job effectively, she needed to keep up with the current publishing trends, understand what readers are demanding at that moment, and what they will be demanding months/years down the road. Sarah founded HRM so she could share her knowledge with others.

    Thanks for looking at my site-It took quite a lot for me to share an example of my work with the world, I am now following you.

    You have encouraged me to maybe share a little of my writing and to have a bit more confidence about what I do.

    I’d like to communicate with someone from HRM. I clicked the Facebook icon under your Contact Us, however, it brought me to a page that is unavailable. Is there another way to reach you?

    Thanks for visiting my site, I am so glad to be here on yours. What a wonderful concept! Love the audio. Wish it could be set up via Spotify or something like that, so we can all listen too. Or maybe it can and I’m not seeing how. In any case am reading your blog and looking forward to more. Appreciated your comment on Memoirs, am getting ready to publish my first volume and about to write more about that on my Writing Zone: annette-hamilton.com
    Cheers and best wishes for the holiday season.
