In Bologna? Pop by the Australian stand

If you’re on the ground in Bologna for this year’s fair, pop by the Australian stand, Hall 25, Stand B78.

The Australian Publishers Association stand will be managed by Rome-based Australian freelance editor, English-language consultant and former bookseller and publisher Kabita Dhara, and will this year feature 15 Australian publishers.

Books from Bologna Prize nominee Affirm Press, Allen & Unwin, Big Sky Publishing, Educate2Empower, Five Mile, Little Pink Dog Books, MidnightSun, Pantera Press, Text Publishing, UQP, Wakefield Press and Wilkinson Publishing will be featured on the APA stand. Representatives from ALC Agency, Scribe children’s imprint Scribble and Exisle Publishing’s children’s arm EK Books, which is also in the running for the Bologna Prize, will attend the fair in person.

Alongside Australian publishers Affirm Press, EK Books and Magabala Books, Aotearoa New Zealand presses Beatnik Publishing and Huia Publishers are also nominated in the Oceania category for the 2022 Bologna Prize, to be announced at the fair.
