History and vision of Petradi International Rights Services
Our History
Cindy Riggins, founder of Riggins Rights Management, envisioned a way to assist Christian publishers who lacked the resources to maintain their own international rights department. She aimed to utilize her ten years of expertise in rights management to help these publishers effectively manage their rights and proactively market their books to the global publishing team in the international inspirational publishing community. Thus, in 2003, Riggins Rights Management was established to provide a business-to-business service that connected publishers worldwide, delivering books and other products in the heart languages for readers around the globe.
Two Decades of International Expansion
As the company expanded its clientele, it also broadened its reach into various global territories by adding localized managers who lived in those areas, spoke at least one primary language, and understood the cultures of their respective regions. By the time Cindy retired in March 2026, the team had issued over 10,000 licenses in at least 75 different languages, positively impacting over 20 million lives.
A New Chapter
In April 2026, Jade Doyel acquired Riggins Rights Management and rebranded it as Petradi International Rights Services, preserving the heart, mission, and vision originally laid out by Cindy.
Our Team
Our global publishing team boasts over 200 years of combined experience in the Christian publishing community worldwide. The territory managers hail from their respective regions, bringing knowledge of the local language and culture, as well as insights into current geopolitical influences shaping their publishing markets.
Specializing in rights management, we have representatives who live and work within their territories, collectively speaking no fewer than 10 languages.
