About the company

For the Malta Book Festival 2022 the National Book Council organised a literary speed-dating event to be taking place in our two reading hubs at the MFCC. This space will be specifically used for fifteen-minute one-to-one meetings between 12:30 and 2:30 pm on Saturday 26 November. BOOK HERE!The idea behind this initiative is to get individuals from the public to meet publishing professionals at the Malta Book Festival, in a setting which is more private than the usual 'from behind the counter at the stand in a festival attended by thousands’.We will ideally have: an author, a literary agent, an editor, a translator, a local publisher, a foreign publisher, a printer, an illustrator, a graphic designer, a copyright lawyer, funds experts, a distributor. Authors at the Malta Book Festival can meet aspiring authors, who may simply want to chat about literature, writing skills or other topics which are normally avoided in a crowded setting. Exhibitors have the chance to meet potential authors or writers who want to publish soon, or anyone who may wish to get to know a publisher better for future business or/and exchanging contacts. A discussion with a foreign literary agent could delve into how to pitch a book with a foreign publisher, but also how to set up a literary agency in Malta. And so on.
