Direct peers

• Silvia Bastos Agencia Literaria: Spain-based literary agency representing Spanish and Catalan authors for international rights and international publishers for Spanish-language markets. Operates with the same commission-based rights model and book fair-driven sales motion as Sandra Bruna, serving an overlapping author and publisher client base.
• Pontas Literary & Film Agency: Barcelona-based literary agency founded by Anna Soler-Pont, also focused on Spanish and Catalan language rights representation worldwide and international publisher catalog representation for Spain and Latin America. Highly comparable business model, geographic focus, and market positioning to Sandra Bruna, making it the most direct Spanish/Catalan agency peer.

Regional players

• AnatoliaLit Agency: Istanbul-based literary agency specializing in Turkish author rights worldwide and representing international publishers' catalogs in the Turkish market. Highly analogous business model of national-author representation plus international catalog representation via book fair participation and co-agent network, though regionally focused on Turkey rather than Spain/Catalan markets.

Broad incumbents

• Curtis Brown Group: UK-based literary and talent agency with multiple divisions handling book rights, translation rights, and co-agents across global territories. Comparable in running an institutional agency with rights managers, editorial services, and long-standing international co-agent relationships, though based in the English-language market.
• Andrew Nurnberg Associates International: One of the largest international literary rights agencies, with offices across Europe and Asia representing authors and publishers for translation rights worldwide. Comparable business model of cross-territory rights licensing via co-agent networks and book fair presence, though operating at significantly larger scale and broader geographic scope.
• The Wylie Agency: Premier US literary agency representing major authors across fiction and nonfiction, with a substantial international rights desk handling translation and subsidiary rights worldwide. Comparable core function of rights representation and international sales, but with a US-centric author base and larger deal volumes per agent.
• InkWell Management: US literary agency representing major nonfiction and fiction authors with a dedicated translation rights team serving publishers worldwide. Operates a similar dual model of author representation plus international rights sales, with established co-agent networks analogous to Sandra Bruna's 20+ territory footprint.
