Welcome to Emons Edizioni’s Foreign Rights page!
Founded in 2007 in Rome, Emons Edizioni is a renowned publisher for audiobooks and books.
In 2020 Emons launched its first children’s books. We publish only Middle grade and YA books and our books can be read and listen to: they have a QR Code that enables to listen to the audiobook, too. The idea of two formats in bundle has been very well received and considered a winning point.
2024 has been an amazing year: we launched Il ciambellano e il lupo (The Chambelain and Wolf) by Simona Baldelli, a moving and heartfelt novel with a dash of magic, and the book is now included in the Ibby Italia Choice List 2024, and is finalist for the Premio Campiello Junior and the Premio Letteratura Ragazzi di Cento.
In 2024 we also won the Premio Strega ragazze ragazzi and the Premio La storia più importante with Motel Calivista, buongiorno! (Front Desk) by Kelly Yang and the Premio Rodari with Yuan Huan’s Telephone Box by Miyase Sertbarut.

Simona Baldelli's novel (IBBY Italia Choice List 2024, finalist for Premio Campiello Junior and Premio Letteratura Ragazzi di Cento) is about fear and courage and takes place in the 1950s; Lilith Moscon's in nowdays Florence, Alberto Milazzo's novel is set in the Palermo botanical garden in the 1980s. Coming soon: Vichi De Marchi's novel set in Venice during the WWII.
The series I Misteri di Mercurio (Mercury's Mysteries).
Written by well-known Italian authors – Pier Domenico Baccalario, Daniele Nicastro, Manlio Castagna, Davide Morosinotto, Giada Pavesi, Fiore Manni, Michele Monteleone, Guido Sgardoli, Elena Peduzzi –, each novel is about three friends who make a journey through time. In the past, they get to know a great master of Italian art (Giorgione, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Giotto, Artemisia Gentileschi, Leonardo da Vinci, Tiziano, Palladio) and must solve some obscure mystery before going back home.
A fun, well-organised series, with plenty of humour as well as detailed historical reconstruction. The descriptions of the artists’ characters and their world draw from historical sources and are woven naturally into the plot.

The series Wild Videomakers is written by Andrea Vico, a well known scientific journalist whose workshops are always packed with students.
It is a narrative non-fiction project 10+ on scientific and evironmental issues. Told in a very captivating style, it is a very effective approch to the theme of climate change. It is designed to help children reflect, through the adventures of Sofia, Zhenji, Tommaso and Paolo, on what is happening on the Earth and what we can all do to live in a more sustainable way. Every book is dedicated to a different animal and its environment: the turtles (the sea), the wolves (the mountain), and so on.
