March 2016: top month in Foreign Translation sales!

March 2016 was an excellent month for the rights department. We closed a total of 22 deals, and most remarkably, they were mostly titles from our backlist, and for some of our classic titles it's their second or third deal over the years. Also of note is the first foreign language sale for our perennial bestseller Trauma Stewardship by Laura van Dernoot Lipsky. Hopefully other languages will follow, so that Laura's important lessons on how to take care of yourself when taking care of others will spread worldwide! And here is the complete list:
