Digital effects on book publishing are as close as your nearest device housing an ebook file. Less familiar to many in the field, however, is another area of digital shift: rights transactions. After all, our trade fairs are famous for that personal interaction, the face-to-face rights-hall visit. We asked Erin L. Cox to look at the platforming of the rights sector. And we invite industry members working in the rights arena to let us know how they see this change playing out: what is the impact of these new modes of commerce: on opportunity, tempo, international reach? What becomes of the professional relationships so long central to the rights arena?-Porter Anderson
