The global publishing market has never been more exciting, and every day myriad publishing stories cross my screen that I’d love to develop here at TNPS, but there simply isn’t time.
But if you’re reading TNPS in the first place you probably share my obsession with all things international publishing, and would no doubt enjoy some of these stories.
So a regular feature of TNPS is a collation of links to some of the best publishing stories around the web that I haven’t been able to devote a full post to.
Here’s today’s collation (and yes, there’s actually 11 links. The extra one is on the house.):
UAE – Renowned authors to inspire kids at Sharjah Children’s Reading Festival.
Indonesia / UK – Londoners Show High Interest in Indonesian Literature Books.
India – Indian erotic fiction, and openness towards sex, boosted by digital tech and stories where the underdog takes control.
Nigeria – National library partners NYSC to promote reading culture.
Philippines – Coming soon: More European literature translated into PH languages.
