Writer of the Year Award The first fruits of the rookie authors of this year 2020.02.03 If overseas publishers have one yardstick that they choose to adopt when they encounter Korean authors and works, it is whether the work received a literary award in Korea.

Agencies talk actual copyright export cases 2018.01 It is a well known fact South Korea's copyrights are being exported actively throughout the globe. However, it is difficult to know in detail what books are being sold into which countries and how.

It is also because so many books are being exported to other countries simultaneously.In our January webzine, we will look at what kinds of content have been exported so far including literature, children's books, practical books, series, comics, webtoons and language education workbooks.
