Reader-friendly Publication Marketing

Publishing Industry Reader-friendly Publication Marketing 2023.05.02 Readers living in 2023 no longer get the latest news through book reviews in newspapers or advertisements. Instead, most of them purchase books through influencers on Instagram, YouTube channels, and book clubs and newsletters managed by publishing houses. As a result, more readers are meeting books through faster, friendlier, and more familiar channels.As an editor making book-review magazines in online bookstores, there’s one question that I always ask readers that buy 2 to 3 books every month - “Where do you get the news about the latest books?

Trends in the Publishing Market in the First Half of 2022

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 ...

Also, as an IT powerhouse, Korea provides easier access to all sorts of content, enabling people across all age groups to enjoy visual fun and entertainment through visual content rather than books.

What else can I do?”- Comments by fans of the movie “Decision to Leave” on their expectations for the screenplay publication parodying the movie’s lines The movie “Decision to Leave,” released last June, is the most recent movie written by Chung Seo-Kyung and directed by Park Chan-Wook.
