| „One book’s fiercest competitor may not be another book, but rather a film, a TV series, a game, or something entirely different,“ says publishing expert Rüdiger Wischenbart. In the new Business Club White Paper, the author and consultant describes what´s crucial in times of streaming services and the like and how book markets are tackling challenges by adapting to new habits of readers.

| Getting insights into the German book market
|
| What are the dynamics of the German book market? Who are the up and coming authors? On a trip organised by Frankfurter Buchmesse, 14 editors from the UK and the US toured Germany to meet professionals from German publishing houses and to receive first-hand information about the German book market. Porter Anderson, editor-in-chief at Publishing Perspectives, went with them.

| Networking for non-fiction editors
|
| Thanks to the political debates in the US, the sales of political non-fiction are on the rise on the US book market. At Frankfurter Buchmesse, we dedicate a whole event to the topic: “Where in the World is your Non-Fiction?” The event (held in English) includes a panel discussion and will give international non-fiction editors the opportunity to network and to learn more about each other’s programmes.
