About us

Our literary agency was created in 1992 proposing bookrights of french, english and german publishers of non-fiction titles in the fields of body, mind and spirit which were soon completed by illustrated and fiction titles. Since then we sold over 1300 foreign rights.

Today Agence Schweiger represents 130 publishers french, german, english and other in various fields and has co-agents all over the world.

Alais Daillut Garric

Coming off preparatory classes in literature, and fresh out of a university curriculum in anthropology, art history, sociology and psychology, Alaïs wishes to make her mark in the publishing field. Drawn to the transmission of knowledge that human and social sciences entail, the world of books is a natural fit for her, offering her the opportunity to promote authors and works with values that she shares. She joined the Schweiger agency in 2021, working closely with Christian.
