Each year, Frankfurt hosts the world’s biggest gathering of cultural enthusiasts, readers, authors, publishers, journalists and industry professionals. This year, the Frankfurt Book Fair was a huge success, featuring exciting events, helpful workshops and a wide range of exhibitors from all over the world. This year recorded a 5.5% rise in attendance as compared to the last year and welcomed 302,267 visitors. The total number of presenters was also increased from 7,503 to 7,450. Being at the forefront of the publishing industry, we were in attendance all five days from 16th to 20th October at Booth 6.0 C121. The event was a smashing success for us as we promoted our fascinating collection of books, met some talented writers, readers, distributors, industry professionals and rights assistants. Our team welcomed a lot of book enthusiasts and had productive discussions with industry professionals. The visitors were captivated by our diverse collection of books and appreciated the brilliant work of our authors. The book fair was full of acclaimed and new writers who visited from all around the globe. To keep ourselves updated with the latest trends and innovations in the publishing industry, our team attended various conferences and workshops. Our Digital Brand Manager, Kathryn Brisebois, attended the Global 50 CEO Talk 2019 with Kelly Luegenbiehl, Vice President International Originals at Netflix. She talked about Netflix’s current broad interest in original international stories and book rights for its productions and programming.  This year’s Frankfurt Book Fair was a smashing success as all the renowned book publishers, booksellers, authors and fans of literature got together under one roof to celebrate literature and the love of books. We are thankful to all the wonderful people who visited us and the organisers of the fair who made this grand event, a success, with their professional services. We are looking forward to the next year’s fair. Austin Macauley Publishers - Where Every Great Story Begins
