The International Children's Picturebook Market

2nd March 11:00 to 12:00
This session introduces the international picturebook market, with a particular focus on the importance of the Bologna Children’s Book Fair as a global marketplace.
This activity is offered as part of Go Global - an exciting set of activities, allowing students to engage in an international experience. Are you having problems signing up to this event? Email GGW6@mmu.ac.uk and we will try to fix the issue for you.

Because picturebooks are expensive to produce, international rights sales and co-editions are essential to making them financially viable. Neal Hoskins will explore how picturebooks travel across borders through agents, rights deals and international partnerships, and how global markets shape both the economics and creative development of picturebooks. The session is valuable for anyone interested in children’s publishing, including writers, illustrators, designers and aspiring publishers, as it demonstrates how projects are positioned for international audiences and why global thinking is essential in this part of the industry.
