In celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Élysée Treaty on Franco-German cooperation, Frankfurter Buchmesse invites fiction publishers from Germany and France to "Salon Francfort" (5- 7 July 2023). This is a publishers' meeting for selected German and French fiction publishers which will take place at the Haus des Buches in Frankfurt.
The compact programme will focus on the development of a Franco-German book industry network, as well as on the promotion of literature and translation.
German publishers are given the chance to present contemporary German-language authors whose works have not yet been translated into French.
The agenda of Salon Francfort includes a panel discussion, a pitching session for German publishers, licensing discussions and numerous networking opportunities.
The salon is planned as a curated, focussed event, so the number of participants is limited to a maximum of 10 people per language.
