Leipzig Book Fair

The Leipzig Book Fair is one of the most important spring gathering for the book and media industry, connecting readers with authors, publishers and media companies from Germany and around the world. The book industry schedules many book launches for this fair.

The aim of the event is to further promote contemporary Hungarian literature in the German-speaking world-both among readers and professionals, to build translator-publisher relationships to promote future book launches, and to introduce The Continental Literature Magazine.
