How are Regional Publishers in Korea Thriving?

Publishing Industry   How are Regional Publishers in Korea Thriving? Cooperation of local publishers seen through the Somewhere, Someone series   2023.03.13         I’m living in a village by the ocean in Goseong County, Gangwon-do Province. The first thing I do in the morning is take a walk on the shore in front of the village with my dog. Once I reach the shore, I take off the leash for him to move around freely, and check orders from bookstores on a number of applications.
