PROMOTION OF ITALIAN BOOK IN THE WORLD
We brought to your attention the following initiative, the portal www.newitalianbooks.it
It is a new bilingual digital tool (Italian / English) for the promotion of Italian books abroad. The newitalianbooks.it is aimed at a plurality of recipients: first of all to the actors of the book supply chain (publishers, literary agents, scouts, illustrators, translators, booksellers), but also to the general public of all those who are interested in Italian culture and language abroad (cultural operators, librarians, teachers of Italian studies, university students and school pupils).
Main characteristics:
- As a platform for exchange and comparison between professionals in the sector, aimed primarily at promoting the sale of rights to Italian works in the world, newitalianbooks.it presents itself in its debut with over six hundred new book entries, grouped by genre (fiction, non-fiction, comics, children's books), demonstrating the strong interest with which Italian publishers have given their support to this new initiative.
- Contains a section dedicated to illustrating the prizes and contributions to translation provided by our Ministry, a space intended to host news and contributions on the promotion activities of Italian authors organized by the diplomatic-consular network and the Cultural Institutes.
For further information on the portal, interested parties can refer to the e-mail address: promotion.libro@esteri.it.
