Invitation Programme for Exhibitors
In the face of globalisation and agglomeration, it continues to be difficult for publishing companies from developing book nations to assert themselves on the world market. The Frankfurt Book Fair seeks to support them in taking their first steps in this direction.
This year once again, the renowned Frankfurt Book Fair’s Invitation Programme, organised by litprom – the Society for the Promotion of Literature from Africa, Asia and Latin America, makes it possible for a group of 25 publishers from 24 countries to introduce themselves at the industry’s biggest get-together in the world.
Apart from being paid their travel expenses and their stay, the carefully selected guests from Africa, Asia, Latin America, Central and Eastern Europe are always given a free stand at the Fair. Funding is provided jointly by the Frankfurt Book Fair and the German Federal Foreign Office.
As in past years, the guest publishers attend a two-day seminar before the Book Fair begins, not only preparing them for the Fair, but also providing them with wide-ranging information on the German book market.
As a discussion forum, the seminar gives them the opportunity to talk to experienced speakers from the industry on topics such as international sales, marketing, rights and licences, and reading campaigns.
