Spring Literary Contests held by Newspapers

Spring Literary Contests held by Newspapers Literary Contests for New Writers   2020.03.02   ⓒ Kyunghyang Shinmun, Chosun Ilbo, DongA Ilbo, Munhwa Ilbo   New writers make their debut to the literary world by presenting their works through various channels such as independent publications, contracts with a publisher, literary contests, and online platforms. Among all these, “Shinchunmunye (Spring Literary Contest)” is a unique literary contest in Korea reserved for young writers. Korean newspapers select and award works of new writers on every first day of the year; it is also referred to as “the gateway for newly-debuting writers.”The uniqueness of the Spring Literary Contests comes from the fact that unlike other contests or literary awards, their door is open to only the works of new writers, limiting the participation of professional writers. Therefore, it is playing a critical role in the Korean literary world as it discovers new literary authors and widely int...

Bernard Werner’s new book, Slumber 1, ranked third on the list with the release of Homo Deus of Yuval Noah HararI, and Nam-joo Jo's Ji-young Kim Born in 1982 rose 11.8% from the previous week, breaking the record of weekly sales units.     “Writers’ TV appearance” on the topic   It appears that when writers appear on TV that their books become popular.

Trends and news in South Korea's book design

Trends and news in South Korea's book design   2018.01   Despite there being very limited space on a book for design, we've seen many changes in book design both experimental and diverse. Up to the early 2000s, it wasn't clear what the concept of book design entailed and at many times people would ask what it was exactly 'book designers' did.   Book designers are one of many people who are involved in making books and not only do they design the covers, they need to understand the font and contemplate how to connect readers with the materialistic characteristics of the book. In the 1980s, the form of books was quite simple and there were limitations as to how books were designed. Looking back, the unique designs from then had influenced book designs to a great extent, when book designers had to work with film by hand in designing the books(See image 1). With the development of programs, it now takes a very small amount of time to get what's inside your head onto the cov...

Agencies talk actual copyright export cases

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. This is because the information is directly connected to the business operations of agencies that are involved in intermediating export deals. 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. Through these detailed examples from agencies, readers will even be able to find tips they would not have found out about without having gone through the export process themselves.     Table of Contents   1.

2020 Publication Trends in Korea

2020 Publication Trends in Korea   2020.02.03     Korea has fully entered a low-fertility and aging society. The number of students is rapidly decreasing, and for domestic colleges, some of the majors have been taken off the curriculum or were integrated due to a lack of applicants for 2020. This trend gives birth to new keywords for the generation such as “Millennial Generation”, “Active Senior Generation” or “Senior Generation” in our society, while on the social sensitivity side, keywords from other perspectives that were not highlighted in the society such as feminism, fairness, fragmentation, double-sidedness, and growth are emerging.   Young people familiar with media will enjoy and represent the changing times with their sensibilities.   Trend Korea 2020 is an annually published book series which launched in 2009 with Trend Korea 2010. The series consists of analysis and predictions about Korean consumption trends. The b...
