Ian Fleming Publications is the production company formerly known as both Glidrose Productions Limited and Glidrose Publications Limited, named after its founders John Gliddon and Norman Rose. In 1952, author Ian Fleming bought it after completing his first James Bond novel, Casino Royale; he assigned most of his rights in Casino Royale, and the works which followed it to Glidrose. In 1956, Ian Fleming hired literary agent Peter Janson-Smith to handle the foreign translation rights in the James Bond novels. He was the literary consultant and chairman of Ian Fleming Publications until 2001.
Today, Ian Fleming Publications administers all of Ian Fleming's literary oeuvre and is owned by Fleming's family. In July 2008 Ian Fleming Publications announced the appointment of literary agent Simon Trewin, from UK-based literary agency United Agents, to manage worldwide English-language rights in the Ian Fleming titles and Young Bond.
