Dates: March 28-31, 2011

The 47th Bologna Children’s Book Fair was held in March 2010 in Bologna, Italy, and is the world’s leading event for children’s publishing dedicated to the sale of rights and international co-productions of books and software.

Every year 1,400 international exhibitors, including more than 1,200 from abroad, offer a comprehensive survey of children’s publishing. The Exhibition Centre becomes the key meeting point for those initiating and forging links and negotiating commercial agreements, as well as a ‘point of reference’ for illustrators from around the world. If you can’t personally attend, or need a place to a call home, ForeWord Magazine will be one of the only co-operative exhibits from the United States representing rights for independent publishers.

Fees: Fees for representation are $175 per title, $600 for a shelf (up to five titles).

Deadline: March 15, 2011

Once you register for the show, please send one copy of each title to the address below. (You will receive an e-mail receipt at the time you register, which will include complete instructions.)
