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.

Fandom and Publishing

Topic Fandom and Publishing Trend in the Korean publishing market in 2022 2022.09.05 I have talked with a number of editors from publishing companies about “profitable books.” They all said, “The results are mostly determined by how influential the author is. How many readers it can attract is also one of the key points of signing a contract.”While fewer people are reading books, more people hope to write books today. So, among the manuscripts flooding in, the writers who sign the contract at the end are those who are influential. The marketing capacity of the publisher is indeed important. But, in this market where capital decides the marketing power, it is more likely that you must bring in “people that don’t read” to make a book go best seller. Thus, it is clear that a publishing company prefers to publish books by those with a strong fandom, created before publication. ...

Was there a specific inspiration that led you to write The Pencil? The Pencil is my very first book. I felt a lot of pressure and spent much time worrying about how to fully capture my own thoughts in my debut picture book. At first, I tried to create a story around grand and flashy subjects, but those attempts felt like wearing someone else’s clothes...
