Defining the News
“A furor erupted at this year’s event when, in the wake of Hamas’ attack on Israel, Litprom canceled an award ceremony for Palestinian author Adania Shibli that was to have been held at the Frankfurt Buchmesse”
On October 19, NBDB, Publishers without Borders, and the Philippine Consulate in Frankfurt hosted a reception at which attendees tasted prime ube liqueur and six unique versions of adobo. On October 20, the Philippine delegation organized a “Books and Breakfast” event at which poet and filmmaker Kristian Cordero and NBDB Director Anthony John Balisi presented the Philippine market to German publishers.
NBDB is the government agency tasked with the development of the Philippine publishing industry. As part of its efforts, the Philippines was named the Guest of Honor of the 2025 FBM, an important event that the NBDB is preparing for. Held annually in October, the fair attracts over 4,000 exhibitors from more than 100 countries who come together to negotiate international publishing rights, license agreements, and cross-media adaptations.
They said they will hold the LiBeraturpreis awarding ceremony “at a later point” as it looks for a “suitable format and setting for the event.”
