ANA Hanoi
Agents: Van Thanh Hoang
Vietnam
No 7, D2, TT4 Bac Linh Dam, Dai Kim Ward, Hoang Mai District, Hanoi, Vietnam
Founded in Vietnam in 2023, the agency intends to make the most of Southeast Asias most commercial book market from our office in Hanoi, the heart of Vietnam. Our director, Van Thanh Hoang, studied Physics at college before her curiosity for other realms of human experience and knowledge kindled her love in books.
Van started out in Rights, spending a decade at one of the countrys most influential publishing houses, handling (mainly) translation rights, large scale international co-operation and publishing management. From this, she garnered unique insights into Vietnams publishing landscape, its development and how local publishers negotiate and acquire international titles.
With a rapidly thriving economy, Vietnams large, youthful population is hungry to learn and has disposable income to read for pleasure. Young readers appetite for a diverse range of themes combined with a competitive market means that eye-catching book design and vibrant, digital marketing and sales is becoming the norm: enticing readers and re-invigorating reading culture among younger generations.
ANA Hanoi will get the right books in front of Vietnams most talented editors so they can fight for them. We are our clients voice in Vietnam: here to connect, negotiate and grow.
