Bologna rights centre to open to adult publishers

Bologna Children’s Book Fair (BCBF) will expand its current BCBF Agents’ Centre to include rights professionals from across the industry, including adult general trade publishers.

BCBF director Elena Pasoli said: ‘Our BCBF Agents’ Centre has enjoyed great success over many years and it seems a logical next step in its development that we welcome a broader audience from rights trading communities.’

BolognaBookPlus guest director Jacks Thomas added: ‘This is a great opportunity for BolognaBookPlus general trade rights professionals who can now sit alongside their children’s publishing counterparts in the vibrant Bologna Rights Centre.’

BCBF expanded into addressing general trade publishing in 2021 with the BolognaBookPlus conference. The next BCBF is scheduled for 6–9 March 2023.
