_^Bold news first, Book fair season just got a whole lot more interesting — Kravitz & Sons is packing crates, polishing spines, and heading to Frankfurter Buchmesse 2025. This is the 77th edition of the fair, running from October 15 to 19, 2025, and yes, it’s the place where the publishing world actually does its business — rights deals, discovery, and the kind of serendipitous hallway conversations that change careers.

A quick backstory, because context matters: Frankfurt traces its book-trade roots back centuries, long before trade shows had apps. The fair’s origins reach into early modern Europe and printing’s boom, and after World War II it re-emerged in 1949 as the global marketplace for publishers and rights. That history isn’t trivia — it’s why publishers still treat Frankfurt as the annual hub for licensing, translation deals, and global discovery.

This year’s fair will have a special spotlight: the Philippines is Guest of Honour with the program motto “The imagination peoples the air,” a theme built around storytelling, cultural exchange, and how literature makes presence felt across borders. That’s perfect for publishers, because publishing is exactly the industry that turns imagination into bridges between markets and minds. Expect lively programming, curated pavilions, and conversations that go beyond book launches.

So what will Kravitz & Sons do there? We’ll be on the show floor with a handpicked selection of titles from a range of authors — new voices, established writers, and a few surprise finds you’ll want to put on your radar. Drop by our booth at Hall 6.0 B20 to browse, pitch, or just ask which title we think will break out next. We’ll have physical copies, catalogues for rights teams, and people who actually enjoy talking about books more than their coffee. (That’s saying something.)

Why it matters for authors and publishers: Frankfurt is where deals happen fast and visibility scales globally. If you’re an author, this is a chance to meet translators, agents, and editors who can take a local story into new languages and markets. If you’re working in publishing, it’s where partnerships get minted and trends are read in real time. Bring good business cards and an honest pitch — nothing sells a book like a clear voice and an obvious audience.

If you want specifics, mark your calendar for October 15–19, aim for Hall 6.0 B20, and tell your editor, agent, or that one writer friend to meet you there. Whether you write, edit, sell, design, or simply love books, come see us. We’ll be showing books, swapping stories, and making plans to bring more voices into the world. See you in Europe — and yes, bring a suitcase for the books you won’t be able to resist.

See You Soon
