Auckland University
Press Senior Editor Anna Hodge has won a coveted place on the 2012 Frankfurt Fellowship Programme, one of only 16 young
publishers chosen from around the world and the only Kiwi.
In the run-up to
the Frankfurt Book Fair, this annual programme promotes ‘information exchange,
professional dialogue and the creation of networks between international
publishers’ and provides enormous opportunities for younger publishers to
advance in their careers.
Anna will be in
Germany for two weeks from 30 September to visit publishing houses and meet
publishing professionals in Frankfurt, Cologne and Berlin. She’ll learn about
the unique characteristics of the German book market and will update her
international colleagues on recent market developments in New Zealand.
The programme’s
highlight will be participating in the Frankfurt Book Fair from 10 to 14
October, where New
Zealand will be the 2012 Country of Honour and more than 60 New Zealand
authors and 100 performers will showcase Kiwi talent.
