Why the New York Rights Fair? I'd say, Why not? I have been reading about what the fair has to…read moreoffer us publishers, and I'd say "opportunity,", "opportunity" and yes, again, "opportunity."
The fair promises to transform into an International Content & Licensing Marketplace. Held in the heart of the publishing world, New York, at the metropolitan pavilion in Manhattan's vibrant Chelsea neighborhood, it is the first trade and licensing show in the US - for rights, sales negotiations, and content distribution across media including print, digital, audio, film, and television. I am sure it will be a success given it has the backing of seasoned players in the global and professional book community.BolognaFiere with their 54-year long experience from one of their leading events - the Bologna Children's Book Fair- is in combination with Publishers Weekly, Combined Book Exhibit, and PubMatch to conceptualize and design this show.I'd say yet again, it is an "opportunity." So go ahead, and grab it!
