THE RIGHT CONVERSATION SHOULD REACH THE RIGHT DESK.
INSIDER ACCOUNT and SO I WROTE AGAIN are completed manuscripts. Book Three is forthcoming. Together they form a continuing nonfiction and documentary property with distinct routes for publishing, representation, film, television, documentary, international rights, audio, media and professional verification.
This page is the formal point of entry. Commercial rights enquiries are separated from media, verification and general professional correspondence so agents, publishers, editors, producers, directors, screenwriters and rights professionals can identify the purpose of an approach immediately.
The completed manuscripts, private reading rooms and confidential participant archive remain under controlled access. The public website can be shared freely; title-specific manuscripts and underlying verification material are provided selectively to appropriate professional readers and according to purpose.
Use rights@expose.org.za for publishing, literary representation, film, television, documentary, international, translation, audio and adaptation enquiries. Use the other channels below where they genuinely fit.
ONE PROPERTY. DIFFERENT PROFESSIONAL CONVERSATIONS.
Select the nature of your enquiry. Each route opens the appropriate address with a relevant subject line so the first message arrives with context.
Use this route for literary representation, South African or international publication, publishing rights to either completed title, foreign-language or territorial rights, and wider series discussions.
Please identify your name, organisation, professional role, territory and the nature of the interest. Qualified readers can then be given the appropriate synopsis, positioning material and, where warranted, controlled access to the relevant private reading room or manuscript.
Use this route for feature adaptation, premium limited-series development, documentary, docuseries, factual television, option enquiries and other screen-related rights discussions.
The books provide the human and documentary narratives; the controlled archive can support professional development, chronology and verification where appropriate. Source access remains selective, lawful and purpose-specific.
Use this route for territorial publication, translation, foreign-language editions, audiobook, narrative audio, podcast adaptation and related international rights discussions.
These rights can be evaluated separately from primary publishing and screen rights so that unrelated territories, languages and formats are not bundled together by default.
Use this route for journalists, current-affairs media, interview requests, editorial podcasts, researchers, fact-checkers and professional verification enquiries.
Please state the publication, programme, production or professional purpose and any genuine deadline. Requests for confidential or restricted source material are considered separately and are never automatically granted.
This address is intended for substantive professional correspondence where direct author engagement is genuinely appropriate.
General enquiries should use the relevant channel above. Direct correspondence may be reviewed, prioritised or handled on the author’s behalf where appropriate, and use of this address does not imply that every message will receive a personal response.
WHAT TO INCLUDE.
The fastest route to a meaningful response is a concise first message that identifies who you are, what you want to discuss and why the request is professionally relevant.
Identify Yourself
Name, organisation, role, territory and professional context.
Identify the Right or Purpose
Publishing, representation, film, television, documentary, translation, audio, media, research or verification.
Identify the Material
State whether the enquiry concerns INSIDER ACCOUNT, SO I WROTE AGAIN, the continuing series, adaptation rights or archive-based verification.
The completed manuscripts, private reading rooms and confidential participant archive are not publicly exposed or supplied merely because they are requested. Appropriate material can be provided to appropriate professional readers, in context, and subject to applicable law, privacy obligations, source protection and existing court orders.
THE RIGHTS DESK IS THE COMMERCIAL FRONT DOOR.
The dedicated rights address exists so publishing, representation and adaptation approaches are immediately distinguishable from ordinary website correspondence.
It does not pretend that Exposé is a large corporate agency. It creates a clean professional channel around a property with two completed books, a third forthcoming and several distinct rights pathways.
AVAILABLE — BUT DELIBERATELY NOT THE DEFAULT.
Direct author contact remains visible because some professional matters benefit from direct communication. It is not intended to replace the rights or information channels.
Substantive correspondence sent to janv@expose.org.za may be prioritised, reviewed or handled on the author’s behalf where appropriate. The address is a direct professional route, not an unrestricted general inbox.
TWO COMPLETED BOOKS. TWO SEPARATE CONTROLLED READING ROUTES.
Qualified publishers, agents, editors, producers, documentary teams, legal reviewers and other appropriate professional readers may request access to the relevant completed work. The two books are handled separately.
INSIDER ACCOUNT
The human record. A separate private reading room and title-specific access route can be provided to an appropriate professional reader.
SO I WROTE AGAIN
The documentary record. A different private reading room and separate title-specific access route can be provided where professional review is appropriate.
Archive Access
Access to a manuscript does not automatically create access to the full underlying archive. Verification material is considered separately according to purpose and legal constraints.
THE PUBLIC SITE IS DESIGNED TO TRAVEL.
Share the homepage with readers, agents, publishers, producers, journalists or anyone who should see the strongest public-facing position of the series.
