Yesterday I visited with my wife, the Frankfurt Book Fair for many years once again (I was only in 1990 and 92 there). Reason was the publication mentioned in the previous post: "Our" publisher had us invited to a conversation that ultimately took more than an hour and was very interesting. We had the opportunity to speak with staff from the areas of editorial, public relations and sales and also the publisher personally know.
After the equally important for us as pleasant conversation we injects us the rest of the Book Fair - or at least the part of it, we were able to accomplish in three hours. These were generally focussed in Young Adult Literature, art and fiction. The halls in which the non-fiction publishers presented their program due to time constraints we could not even enter. Of well-known authors we noticed in the crowd Wolfgang Hohlbein (at Ueberreuter) and Kai Meyer (for splinters), whereby the former are just learning Signierwütigen could hardly, but this latter, for us incomprehensible, very lonely and unappreciated, was forced to watch the flowing past visitors. There was not quite enough Press work has been done.
not only on the stands of manga publishers cavorted young cosplay fans, a refreshing sight. And anyway, it was also the co-existence of Bierernstem and funny, of Objectivity size and garishly-Bunte, which accounted for part of the appeal. We have resolved to be there again next year, hopefully before throngs of screaming fans ;-) our novel, for the love cosplayers - so much perhaps I can tell already - are not so very far away from our target audience ...
But first comes the Leipzig Book Fair in March, where we will most likely also present.
