LEIPZIG LIEST (Leipzig reads): REGISTRATION FOR EXHIBITORS
Exhibitors can take part in Leipzig Book Fair's literary programme with their own events. Organise readings, discussions and other events together with your authors in the various sub-programmes, including the Book Industry Conference programme, Fokus Bildung (focus on education), Manga Comic-Con programme and the children's and youth programme. All events will be automatically added to the events catalogue.
Starting 2nd October 2023 it will be possible for exhibitors of Leipzig Book Fair 2024 to register events for Leipzig reads via the online ordering system . If you are an English-speaking exhibitor please send any request on participating in Leipzig liest by e-mail to your assigned project manager in Leipzig. We will then send you all the necessary information.
