‘Black Hole’ Includes Meetings for Rights Professionals
At the Helsinki Literary Agency, Urtė Liepuoniūtė has alerted us to an upcoming digital international rights symposium set for February 19 and 20.
Publishing Perspectives readers know Liepuoniūtė for the innovative podcast programming she started in December with the reindeer-denialist author Juhani Karila.
The effort has continued (while many such shiny new series fall by the wayside). February 6 now with some irony relative to the Trump domestic terrorist attack on the United States’ congress is the date on which the first Sámi congress was held in 1917 in Trondheim.
Our featured titles were first published in Swedish, Spanish, Norwegian, Catalan, German, and Dutch and they include a diet book for those whose holidays might make such a guide come in handy.
Authors and illustrators with work represented in this Rights Roundup are, clockwise from upper left, Nina Burton; Juan José Millás; José Luis Arsuaga; Katharina Vestre, Linnea Vestre; Meritxell Martí; Xavier Salomó; Berhard Schlink; Felix Kreier; and Maarten Biezeveld
