Salon Francfort

In celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Élysée Treaty on Franco-German cooperation, Frankfurter Buchmesse invites fiction publishers from Germany and France to "Salon Francfort" (5- 7 July 2023). This is a publishers' meeting for selected German and French fiction publishers which will take place at the Haus des Buches in Frankfurt.

The compact programme will focus on the development of a Franco-German book industry network, as well as on the promotion of literature and translation.

German publishers will be given the chance to present contemporary German-language authors whose works have not yet been translated into French.

The agenda of Salon Francfort includes a panel discussion, a pitching session for German publishers, licensing discussions and numerous networking opportunities.

The salon is planned as a curated, focussed event, so the number of participants is limited to a maximum of 10 people per language.

For German participants, we are looking for fiction publishers and rights and licensing managers with several years of work experience and a good command of English (knowledge of French is an advantage).

French participants can be fiction publishers, programme directors or editors with several years of work experience and a good command of English (knowledge of German is an advantage).

Salon Francfort is supported by the Federal Foreign Office of the Federal Republic of Germany, and curated and organised by Frankfurter Buchmesse GmbH.
