Work with us

We work with publishers, distributors and retailers outside Estonia. There are three ways to bring Heiki Vilep's books to your readers.

1. Translation rights

License the text and illustrations for your language and market. You translate, print and sell the books yourself. Sample translations in English are available on request.

2. Co-editions

License the rights and order the printed books from us. We prepare the translation and layout, print the run and deliver it to you. You get a finished edition without setting up production.

3. Printed editions for distributors

Ready translated editions for wholesalers, bookshops and retail chains. Small runs are possible, and we deliver anywhere in Europe.

Why Sandman

In Estonia, Heiki Vilep's books are a fixture of kindergartens and primary schools. Over 25 years he has given several hundred readings, about half of them in kindergartens, and almost everywhere he went his books were already on the shelf.

The Sandman stories are short, funny and complete in themselves. That makes them easy to translate, easy to read aloud and easy to combine into new collections. They are proven with exactly the audience they are written for: young children and the adults who read to them.
