Foreign Agency on Publishing K-Books in Other Countries in Cooperation with Korean Agency

Export Case Foreign Agency on Publishing K-Books in Other Countriesin Cooperation with Korean Agency 2022.10.04 Amid an unprecedented wave of interest in Korean content, through my agency, I have the privilege of helping children’s, YA, and crossover Korean books across all genres to spread beyond Korea’s borders and into new markets outside of Asia. Korean fiction for adult readers is gaining significant attention and experiencing a real boom in many Western markets, including English, French, Spanish, German and Italian. But children’s books are lagging behind that trend, perhaps because publishers often look for familiar settings that they think parents and children will recognise and identify themselves more easily within. But the movement toward a more diverse publishing list is reaching across all reading ages and helping open up catalogues to more and more works in translation. As a result, many of the Korean titles I have sold were t...

12 Years of Publishing Korean Books in Vietnam

Export Case 12 Years of Publishing Korean Books in Vietnam 2022.06.07 Nha Nam is one of the leading literary book publishing companies in Vietnam, and one of our main goals is to introduce the world's literary works to Vietnamese readers. Since our founding in 2005, Nha Nam has purchased the rights to many works from the UK, France, USA, Germany, Canada, China, and Japan and accomplished certain achievements. However, at the time, although we were keen to publish Korean books, we had quite a few difficulties finding books and contacting Korean copyright owners. Moreover, we did not have much information about Korean literature, nor did we have editors who could read and translate Korean. We could only refer to information through other languages such as English, French or Chinese. At that time, although not many Korean literary books were published, Korean dramas were widely known in Vietnam, so we decided to experiment with the book that had b...

In addition, reflecting the readers’ demands for an offline meeting, this year’s fair will be more compact though smaller in size compared to last year. 긋닛:斷續 punctuationThe theme of the 2021 Seoul International Book Fair “긋닛” read as “gutnit” is an old Korean word meaning close to the state of “intermittent,” pausing and continuing repeatedly. It also has the meaning of comma (,) and full stop (.).Topic of 2021 SIBFAt this juncture, the 2021 Seoul International Book Fair approaches. While...
