The fair

The Budapest International Book Festival gathers Hungarian publishers and a rotating cast of guest countries at HUNGEXPO. It is more festival than rights centre, which for a visiting author is a feature, not a bug.

Advice for visiting authors

  • Guest-country pavilions are often the most open to a conversation in English.
  • Ask Hungarian publishers which translation grants (Hungarian Books in Translation, and incoming schemes) they already use.
