FLF promotes literature from Flanders in Beijing

For the first time in its 10-year existence, the Flemish Literature Fund (FLF) will be present at the Beijing Book Fair, where the Netherlands is the guest country this year. The FLF has evolved into a household name at book fairs in Frankfurt, London, Angoulême and Bologna. It is now hoping to get a foothold in the Far East for starting up literary exchange projects.

Cover Look at Literature from Flanders BeijingAt the invitation of the Dutch Foundation for Literature three staff members from the FLF's foreign rights department will be travelling to China. They will be promoting literature from Flanders from a booth at the 16-stand Dutch pavilion and giving Asian publishers the opportunity to familiarise themselves with literary books from Flanders.

 

The primary objective of this trip is to explore the Chinese publishing world and provide publishers with expert information on literature from Flanders and the role the FLF can play in accomplishing translation projects.
