Publishers Invitation Programme to the Cape Town Book Fair 2012
The Goethe-Institut, in co-operation with the Cape Town Book Fair and the African Publishers‘ Network (APNET), is once again offering a publishers invitation programme to the Cape Town Book Fair (15 – 17 June 2012).The aim of this initiative is to support the participation of publishing houses from sub-Saharan African countries at the Cape Town Book Fair and to provide training and networking opportunities for publishers from this region. This year, the International Publishers’ Congress will take place in Cape Town as well, just ahead of the Book Fair, between 12 and 14 June 2012. This provides a very special opportunity for professional exchange in a global context.
From the wide variety of interesting applications received, ten publishers from eight different countries have now been selected to present their publications at an African collective stand at the book fair:
