Livre Paris 2016

When? March 17-20 2016
What? Meet authors, agents, booksellers and more at Paris’s big annual book fair.
Where? Pavilion 1 de la Porte de Versailles

Paris’s 36th annual book fair – formerly known as the Salon du Livre, now restyled as Livre Paris – is an unmissable gathering for everyone connected with France’s book industry. Held from March 17-20 2016 at Pavilion 1 de la Porte de Versailles, it also honours a guest country – in 2016, that’s South Korea.

Authors, editors, agents, booksellers, libraries, translators, bookshops and all manner of literary people will be represented. As well as the business side of such fairs – selling rights, drumming up buzz, networking and marketing – there will be over 4,000 signings, interviews and debates with a host of French and international authors.

Programme information for 2016 is TBA, but you can find out more, follow updates, and eventually buy tickets on the Livre Paris website.
