The Yusof Gajah Lingard Literary Agency represents writers, illustrators and publishers of children and young adult books for international rights. Our writers and illustrators come from Malaysia and around Asia but we are also happy to represent those who want to spread their work in Asia.

We select the best stories and illustrations; and work with the writers and illustrators to ensure that their stories, whether in the form of words or images, are available to be enjoyed worldwide. 

We do this by participating in international trade fairs and through the network of contacts we have built.

We are based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, home of the hornbills and the orang-utan; tropical rainforests; awesome tropical thunderstorms and lightning; the tallest twin towers in the world; and rich cuisine from a melting pot of people from different cultures. Not surprisingly, from this rich and varied background have emerged fine artists, illustrators and writers with stories to tell. 

We are proud to bring their stories to the world.
