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. Sometimes, I sit in a corner, enter the logistics website, and start my morning work.

Publishing Industry   Trends in the Publishing Market in the First Half of 2022   2022.08.01   People are still reeling from the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has swept the world over the past three years. Korea has been rapidly taking actions to return people’s daily lives to how they were before the pandemic. Such efforts can be seen through major terms commonly used in news outlets, such as “endemic” and “post-COVID.” Also, in early June, the Seoul International Book Fair was held at COEX on a large scale after a three-year absence, attracting approximately 100 thousand visitors. What’s more, lectures and autograph signing events of writers that had halted due to the social distancing policy have begun to take place again. It also seems that publications, book sales, and book-related programs are beginning to revitalize.Books related to “endemic” include From Pandemic to Endemic (Dongasia Books), written by researchers at the Institute for ...
