Reflections on the Frankfurt 2025 Book Trade
The Frankfurt 2025 book trade fair will be remembered for what was left unsaid, rather than what was discussed.
As the editor of a magazine that has been at the heart of the book trade since 1858, it's notable that the industry, which relies on words and pictures, was marked by reticence.
The fair was generally buoyant, with busy diaries and significant rights announcements contributing to the positive mood, as reported by The Bookseller Daily.
Looking ahead to future trends, agents and publishers are anticipating high demand for high-concept fiction, fantasy, romcoms, popular psychology, and escapist non-fiction.
As Christmas tills begin to cha-ching to the sounds of Richard Osman, Charlie Mackesy and Freida McFadden, it offers up a view of what is to come.
Author's summary: Frankfurt 2025 book fair marked by industry reticence.
