In event of the PUBLISHER is the responsible by intermediation of the WORK


Explanation:
Segundo o dicionário do Marcílio Moreira de Castro, "agenciamento" é "intermediation".

Eu optei por "work" como tradução para "obra" porque a palavra "livro/book" aparece logo em seguida, no trecho "para publicação sob a forma de livro" e não pode ser substituída.

In case the publisher is in charge of promoting the book's sales


Explanation:
Esse negócio de chamar livro de 'obra' é coisa do português. Em inglês, diz-se "book", sem enfeites.

Mary, this very unfortunate characteristic of the Portuguese language deeply irritates me. I'm Brazilian and I lived in Brazil all my life, but I will not defend this ridiculous need to ornament the language, which only makes it incomprehensible. The simplicity of the English language, both written and spoken, is there to prove otherwise.

Notes to answerer
Asker: I agree. They should use the KISS principle, right? They love to complicate things...lol. Thanks Mario! :)

Asker: I agree with you 100% Mario. I am Brazilian too and I know exactly what you mean. The amount of time we spend just trying to "figure out" what they are trying to say is so frustrating. They use too many unnecessary words when trying to make a certain point. Yes, the English language is without a doubt much simpler and straight to the point. Thanks again!

disagree  Richard Purdom: as far as I can see 'agenciamento' means 'mediation', not 'promotion', so where is your substantiation?,

  -> The publisher will probably mediate the production of the book for donations, not for sales right? Can't you see mediating the books to a third party and promoting their sales abroad is the same thing? You really can't?
