Nearly 200 participants from more than 50 countries have so far gained from the experience of being a Frankfurt Fellow, among them Indian publishing professionals like Ms. Deepthi Talwar, Senior Commissioning Editor with Westland, Mr. Saugata Mukherjee, Senior Commissioning Editor with HarperCollins India, Mr. Sidharth Malhotra, Publisher of Orient Paperbacks and Mr.Thomas V.C., Publisher of VC Books.

It is a great opportunity to get an in-depth look of the German publishing industry, with visits to important centres of publishing like Munich, Hamburg and Frankfurt as well as meeting international publishers and building networks. As Deepthi Talwar says “The Frankfurt Fellows will be a very crucial part of my network – both professionally and personally. I hope to meet them every year, at least at the Frankfurt Book Fair.” Of course the Programme will end with a visit to the Frankfurt Book Fair 2009. The trip will take place from 3rd to 18th October 2009.

Applications must be sent between 1st March to 30th April, 2009 directly to our office in Frankfurt:
