The Bologna Children’s Book Fair, which takes place March 28-31, is the largest children’s book fair in the world. Rana DiOrio, chief executive pickle at Little Pickle Press, will be attending the fair as a participant, a doer, and to forge connections to take Little Pickle Press to the next level of growth and expansion. Here’s what she hopes to accomplish:
- Identify foreign rights partners for our titles.
- Identify titles published in other geographies and/or languages that we may wish to acquire foreign rights to publish in the United States or all English-speaking countries.
- Identify digital applications partners for our content.
- Identify and meet with potential content and distribution partners.
- Meet with potential strategic and financial investors.
- Get a sense of where the global industry is moving.

Have a great trip, Rana. The connections you made last year are invaluable. I'm looking forward to the new ideas and introductions that your bring back with you. CIAO!
ReplyDeleteFor those of you interested in acquiring translation rights to our award-winning titles, please stop by the Foreword Reviews booth and speak with our agent, Sylvia Hayse.
