Foreign Agency on Publishing K-Books in Other Countries in Cooperation with Korean Agency

Export Case   Foreign Agency on Publishing K-Books in Other Countriesin Cooperation with Korean Agency   2022.10.04   Amid an unprecedented wave of interest in Korean content, through my agency, I have the privilege of helping children’s, YA, and crossover Korean books across all genres to spread beyond Korea’s borders and into new markets outside of Asia. Korean fiction for adult readers is gaining significant attention and experiencing a real boom in many Western markets, including English, French, Spanish, German and Italian. But children’s books are lagging behind that trend, perhaps because publishers often look for familiar settings that they think parents and children will recognise and identify themselves more easily within. But the movement toward a more diverse publishing list is reaching across all reading ages and helping open up catalogues to more and more works in translation. As a result, many of the Korean titles I have sold were t...

A Diplomat’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   A Diplomat’s Pick   2022.10.04   “Yeonhaengnok (燕行錄)” is a very special collection of Korean travel literature. Marco Polo’s The Travels of Marco Polo, Ibn Battuta’s Rihla, and monk Hyecho’s Wang Ocheonchukguk Jeon are travelogues about the writers’ trips to other countries, but Yeonhaengnok is different from typical travelogues as it is a journal about diplomatic activities. The book is a well-organized, systematic travel journal written by former diplomats of Korea cumulated over a long period of time. It is very unlikely to find something of its kind anywhere in the world except in Korea. One of the best-appraised Yeonhaengnoks in Korea is The Jehol Diary written by Park Ji-Won as he returned from China in 1780.     The book The Jehol Diary (Green Bee) is a travel journal of events that took place over a 3,500km round trip of the Joseon diplomatic corps, as they departed from Seoul...

Fandom and Publishing

Topic   Fandom and Publishing Trend in the Korean publishing market in 2022   2022.09.05   I have talked with a number of editors from publishing companies about “profitable books.” They all said, “The results are mostly determined by how influential the author is. How many readers it can attract is also one of the key points of signing a contract.”While fewer people are reading books, more people hope to write books today. So, among the manuscripts flooding in, the writers who sign the contract at the end are those who are influential. The marketing capacity of the publisher is indeed important. But, in this market where capital decides the marketing power, it is more likely that you must bring in “people that don’t read” to make a book go best seller. Thus, it is clear that a publishing company prefers to publish books by those with a strong fandom, created before publication.      ...
