INTERNATIONAL BOOK FAIR


LIBER, the Feria Internacional del Libro (“International Book Fair”), returns to Madrid from 1-3 October 2024 to hold its 38th edition, with Sharjah as Guest of Honour. Organised by IFEMA and promoted by the Federación de Gremios de Editores de España (“Federation of Publishers’ Guilds of Spain”) (FGEE), this will be the largest international book fair for Spanish books, with the capacity to offer business opportunities to major publishing companies and invigorate the book market.



The event, consolidated as the main business platform dedicated to publishing in the Spanish language and one of the most important book fairs in the world, is open to all sectors, with special attention to digital content, new publishers, self-publishing and intellectual property.



The positive result of the 2022 edition, held in Barcelona with nearly 11,000 professional visitors, reaffirms the Fair’s role in stimulating sales in the Spanish publishing sector, especially abroad.



LIBER 2024 will focus on both the digital evolution of books and self-publishing, with two specific areas. The Zona Digital (“Digital Zone”), where there will be companies with technological products and services related to the publishing, distribution and marketing of digital books, and different solutions for audio books. The Zona del Autor (“Author's Zone”), which will allow independent authors to learn about self-publishing tools and services related to the creation, production, sale and promotion of books.
