Book Pricing Strategies in Korea

Publishing Industry   Book Pricing Strategies in Korea   2023.07.03         Average list price of books sold in 2022 was 17,869 Korean won   In Korea, books are usually sold at a fixed price. It’s because the “fixed book price policy” is implemented as the book price policy in accordance with the Publishing Industry Promotion Act.

This isn’t a sharp increase considering the international pulp prices and domestic labor costs that have been driving prices up in recent years because publishers sell books at a “competitive price” as they fiercely compete with multiple titles in the market.In the Korean publishing market, the hardback, paper...

For the average person, it was a testament to the progress of technology, but it was a traumatizing moment for professional Go players who had spent their entire lives playing the sport, as if their very existence was being denied. Having experienced the post-AI world before anyone else, they were aware of it. The “future that came first” had finally arrived. However, the impact of AI is not limited to Go. The progress of technology has never stopped, and it has taken all aspects of human life including literature and art, labor and education into the era of AI. Is “no” an option in the face of technological progress? Author Chang Kang-Myoung states...

Reader-friendly Publication Marketing

Publishing Industry   Reader-friendly Publication Marketing   2023.05.02         Readers living in 2023 no longer get the latest news through book reviews in newspapers or advertisements. Instead, most of them purchase books through influencers on Instagram, YouTube channels, and book clubs and newsletters managed by publishing houses. As a result, more readers are meeting books through faster, friendlier, and more familiar channels.As an editor making book-review magazines in online bookstores, there’s one question that I always ask readers that buy 2 to 3 books every month - “Where do you get the news about the latest books? Are there times when you buy books recommended by other readers?” As a result, heavy readers were subscribing to newsletters of at least five publishing houses and were following dozens of authors they like on Social Media. Publishing companies, of course, have ...
