Spain: País plural: four languages and literatures

The Spanish book market covers literature in a variety of languages. Not only are autors writing in Castilian and Catalan, but there is also books from Basque or Galician authors to be discovered. In spite of the Corona crisis that has hit the country hard ay, the publishing trade continues to function and prepare the run- up to Spain as Guest of Honour of Frankfurter Buchmesse in 2022. This session will present an update on the Spanish market, inform about support for translating books from Spain and talk about licencing in and out Spain with its manifold opportunities and challenges alike. You’ll receive ample input from a Spanish publisher and two agents representing authors and publishers alike.
