Only until February 7 can participate in the new edition of the plan to sell translation rights of Spanish publishers and literary agents through the web portals of New Spanish Books in Germany, Brazil, the United States, France, Japan, and the United Kingdom.

A group of independent experts (translators, booksellers, publishers, and critics of recognized prestige), coordinated by the economic and commercial offices of New Spanish Books with Icex, will select 10-20 titles that they consider the most suitable in each market for the sale of translation rights of publishers, taking advantage of their attendance as a country of honor at the Frankfurt Book Fair.
