South Korea's Imprint System in Publishing

South Korea's Imprint System in Publishing   2019.10.07   Most well-known South Korean publishers have several imprints (independent brands under the same publishing house). This number can go up to double-digits for large publishing houses, while smaller publishers' number of imprints is usually in the single-digit range. Imprints are a way for publishers to expand their publishing range as well as the size of their business and improve profits. Around 2005, the number of imprints grew rapidly in South Korea, and this trend was led by Woongjin Thinkbig, which managed more than 30 imprints at one point. They had a publishing system where they would recruit well-known people from the industry, like directors or editors, give them high wages and place them in charge of imprints. After looking at their performance for two years, the company would decide whether to extend their contract or not. In addition to Woongjin, Minumsa, 21st Century Books and Wisdom House, which...

Discussions on public lending rights and tasks ahead

Discussions on public lending rights and tasks ahead   2019.09.09   Public lending rights (PLR) refer to the rights authors, and other original content creators have in regards to books that are loaned to the public by institutions like public libraries. PLR is a credit-type right to claim compensation in order to make up for losses the content creator may face due to the lending of their book by libraries to the public. It is not a real proprietary right that has the power to permit or ban the use of the published work itself.   Countries that have adopted PLR   Nearly all the countries that have PLR are in Europe because the program implementation was made mandatory as part of a European Community (EC) agreement.   PLR was first adopted by Denmark in 1946 and enforced by other European countries slowly after then. As of August 2019, 33 countries around the world have implemented this program (some state 35 countrie...

South Korea's Fixed Book Price Policy   2019.08.05   Fixed book price policies are rules that set consumer prices for books at levels the publishers select. Countries where these policies exist, sell books at the same price anywhere you go. Instead of competition through prices at the commercial sale level, price competition takes place at the production stage between publishers, boosting the diversity of distribution channels and convenience of readers.The global publishing market is divided into countries that have fixed book prices and those that do not. English speaking countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia, which all form one giant market do not have fixed book prices. Non-English-speaking advanced countries like Germany, France, Spain, the Netherlands and Japan all have fixed book prices. Those that do have this policy have diverse ways to enforce it. For example, in Germany and France, the governments have passed special laws for fi...
