About Us

John Scott & Company began representing medical publishers for translation rights in 1985. The company was founded by John Scott who headed the international department at W.B. Saunders for many years. John (now deceased) was joined by his son, Jake Scott, along with Karen Fraley, Odette Scott, Marcia Liss, Sabrina Gausch and Marty Bloem to form a team focused solely on international rights for STM content.

John worked with the founders of many of the great international medical publishers. As a group, the JSCO team continues to maintain strong relationships with these major international houses as well as with newer publishers across the globe.

Our clients are publishers from the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, India and Spain. We work with publishing houses around the world to license rights for high-quality publications to translate or reprint for their individual markets.

Our goal is to bring these two groups together so that global publishers can tap in the vast content of the health science lists we represent. Our clients can thereby increase the range and penetration of their publications. Our role is to manage all aspects of these relationships bringing continuity, trust and experience to the process.
