Philippines: Novelties, licenses and subsidies
|
| The 2025 Guest of Honour arouses curiosity: around 200 people registered for the webinar "New literary and non-fiction titles from the Philippines" back in June. The event presented a series of Philippine publishers, representative of the publishing landscape. The titles offered for license sale ranged from narrative literature (e.g. crime novels, social novels, new adult) to essays and sophisticated non-fiction. The English-speaking event is available in Frankfurter Buchmesse's online media library.

American journalist and historian Anne Applebaum
|
| Anne Applebaum receives the 2024 Peace Prize of the German Book Trade. "At a time when democratic values and achievements are increasingly being caricatured and attacked, her work embodies an eminent and indispensable contribution to the preservation of democracy and peace", said the jury's statement. The Peace Prize has been awarded by the German Publishers and Booksellers Association since 1950. It is one of the most important cultural prizes in the country. The award ceremony will take place on Sunday, 20 October 2024, in Frankfurt's Paulskirche.
