How To Mediate Like A Pro Exhibited at Frankfurt Book Fair


How To Mediate Like A Pro was displayed at ForeWord Magazine Collective's Booth in October at Frankfurt Book Fair, at the world's largest international book fair (Third Shelf Far Left.)

As a result of last year's Book Fair, foreign rights were sold to Acrodile Publishers in Kenya, Africa for both How To Mediate Like A Pro and How To Negotiate Like A PRo


Global economic turmoil did not deter the mood, nor the deals according to most publishers interviewed. The 2008 Frankfurt Book Fair involved more than 7,373 exhibitors from 100 countries. Fair Director Jurgen Boos noted the 60th Fair rented out 1.4% more space with primary growth from the English-speaking countries. Agent Andrew Lownie noted “Though times are tough, the encouraging news is that editors are still commissioning books, albeit more selectively and for lower advances.”

Visitor numbers were up by 5.6% from last year, with 299,112 attending the Fair; 186,240 of these were trade visitors, coming to Frankfurt for information on the latest international trends and developments in the book and media industry.

The Frankfurt Book Fair remains the publishing world’s most important annual marketing event. Beyond the high-visibility sales and publicity campaigns, much more is going on behind the scenes. Each year a quorum of the world’s international rights agents descend upon Frankfurt in search of fresh and exciting titles. And while larger contracts involving celebrity authors and major publishing houses are negotiated, signed, and announced during the show, The Frankfurt Book Fair continues to offer an excellent forum for the discovery and contracting of titles from independent publishers. Frankfurt is a vital component of the publishing world’s economic engine.

Several publishers have requested review copies of How To Mediate Like A Pro. I will keep you posted on any offers.
