Upcoming Trade Shows Frankfurt am Main, Germany for Books

The nature of decentralized publishing in Germany means that each major city in the country has its own thriving ecosystem of publishers, agencies and other industry-related companies, which contribute to the wellbeing of Germany’s book publishing sector. For instance, Henrich Druck + Medien GmbH has elevated the art of publications to a form of storytelling that captivates and engages. Their passion for print products imbued with a deep appreciation for the tactile and visual aspects of reading, complements their dedication to crafting audiobooks and digital content that resonates with readers. Literarische Agentur Mertin Inh, on the other hand, takes on a global role. It serves as a bridge between writers and publishers from Portuguese and Spanish-speaking regions. It works to foster literary connections across Brazil, Portugal, Africa, Latin America and Spain. Their work extends the reach of these voices to a global audience. The Central and Eastern European Online Library (CEEOL) contributes to the literary landscape by offering access to humanities and social science journals along with a wealth of re-digitized documents. Focusing on Central, East and Southeast European topics, this resource enriches research and exploration. For juni.com GmbH, the focus is on the art of design and production in the realm of print products. Founded as a spin-off from an advertising agency, juni.com brings over three decades of experience to its work, resulting in beautifully crafted books, magazines, and other printed materials. These are just a few of the many storytellers within Frankfurt’s literary community. But the city’s biggest contribution to the literary scene is the Frankfurt Book Fair (Frankfurter Buchmesse) – a highly influential fair that champions literacy and builds bridges between all publishing regions in the world. Each year, a country is chosen as Guest of Honour to highlight its local literary scene. In 2023, it was Slovenia.
