Our Little Library: Literary exchanges

Our Little Library: Literary exchanges will bring together 7 EU publishers during a 30-month period. The purpose of the project is to create a mutual publishing market on the basis of literary exchanges. 48 co-editions will be published during the project and 22 authors/illustrators will visit and promote their work in seven different book markets through 36 literary tours. This will increase the circulation of literary works and transnational mobility of EU books, authors and illustrators. The project includes a strategy to reach a larger readership and raise the awareness of the importance of reading. The beneficiary has been implementing Our Little Library innovative reading project in schools for thirteen years. Books that are in the project reach twice as many readers and 30 % bigger sales than others. The beneficiary is going to share the knowledge with affiliated entities. We believe that 60,000 children and 4000 mentors will benifit from it. In order to increase the visibility of the publishers and their authors on the international market in Europe and beyond, we will organize inter-publishing meetings, focusing on selling rights and visiting international book fairs. Within 30 months, 7 publishing teams, 22 authors and illustrators, 48 translators, 7 editors, 4 designers, 13 members of the project team, one literary agent, 15 foreign editors who will take part in networking, will contribute to a successful implementation of the project. A total of 117 professionals. We will produce 48 children’s books and 60.000 activity books for participating children, send 11.000 copies of newspapers and 13.200 postcards to libraries, and distribute1200 catalogues to foreign editors. We will distribute flyers, bags, posters and other promo material. We will advertise the project intensively through social and traditional media. We will prepare 13 press conferences, 29 video presentations of authors, illustrators and books, a virtual exhibition of illustrators …
