France Livre, in partnership with SOFIA, is inviting 15 publishers from abroad to spend a professional week in Paris in order to broaden their knowledge of the French book market.
This program proposes
“B-to-B” meetings with French publishers during the Paris Book Market, which will take place on June 4th and 5th in Paris;
several round tables to discuss the main stakes of both the Humanities and Literature publishing in France and elsewhere;
visits to publishing houses and bookshops.
In order to participate, you must
be available from May 31st to June 6th, 2026 in Paris;
be an editorial executive/manager in Literature or the Humanities (no children’s books, YA, comic books, or illustrated books);
manage French sufficiently to be able to read a text in French and to understand someone speaking in French;
be able to express yourself in French.
Financial aspects
participants’ hotel bills will be paid by France Livre, which also pays a per diem (€50/day);
participants will pay their own traveling expenses.
Please note!
it is not possible to participate in the Fellowship twice;
