The Rights List (formerly known as ‘Children's Books on Tour’) is a thematic exhibition of current German-language children's and young adult literature. The tour visits book fairs and international locations around the world to present new publications, appeal to an international audience and do business. After all, we are world champions in exports. No other country sells as many foreign licences in this sector as Germany. Each publisher can present up to eight new releases here per year. In 2025, a total of 26 publishers will be on board, 12 of them from Austria. Together, they will present 68 titles from their current programmes in our Rights List Autumn.
