Danny Baror, President & CEO
Danny Baror is president of Baror International, Inc. Having been in the business for more than 30 years, Danny began conducting business via telex many years ago and saw publishing expand from an exclusively print world to a vast universe of digital storytelling, offering many unique opportunities for authors and publishers. He looks forward to seeing what medium the next decade will bring.

Danny works directly with publishers worldwide enabling close contact and a personal relationship with editors throughout the globe. This approach creates a unified submission and publication process. 
​
Danny’s work ethic, aggressiveness, and won't-take-no-for-an-answer attitude is unheard of among the old-guard foreign agents. He gets books into the hands of foreign editors; follows up these submissions tenaciously; creates buzz and excitement for his clients; then negotiates with a fervor that has never been seen before in the traditionally restrained world of foreign rights.
