US Global Connect (USGC) is a Milwaukee-based cross-border publishing intermediary. We connect English-language publishers with Asian literary voices — and Asian publishers with Western content — through rights coordination, translation services, and long-term editorial partnerships.
Our literary representation division, Jade Lotus Literary Agency (JLLA), focuses on bringing Vietnamese and broader Asian authors to English-language readers worldwide. If you are a publisher, author, or partner interested in cross-border literary exchange, you are in the right place.
What We Do
- Asian authors → Western publishers: We identify, represent, and submit Asian literary works to English-language publishers in North America, the UK, and Australia
- Western content → Asian markets: Through our East-West Literary Exchange initiative, we introduce commercially viable Western titles to Asian publishing partners
- Translation coordination: We manage bilingual editorial workflows from source text to publication-ready English manuscript
- Rights and publishing support: Contract coordination, author communication, and editorial liaison across language and cultural boundaries
- Professional publishing services: Fee-based translation, editing, formatting, and Amazon KDP publication support for Asian entrepreneurs, executives, and professionals seeking English-language editions of their business and professional works

For Western Authors & Content Owners
Vietnam’s reading public is young, educated, and growing — with strong documented demand for translated Western titles in business and leadership, personal development, technology, and accessible nonfiction. Through our East-West Literary Exchange initiative, USGC introduces commercially viable Western titles to vetted publishing partners in Vietnam and broader Asia. We handle the introduction process: identifying the right partners, navigating regulatory requirements, and structuring deals that work for both sides.
We accept business and leadership titles, personal development and self-help, technology and AI, education and professional nonfiction, and selected literary fiction with demonstrated commercial appeal. We do not accept political works, investigative journalism, or content likely to face regulatory obstacles in Asian markets.
