The Frankfurt Book Fair will once again sponsor a fellowship program for young publishing people in connection with the upcoming fair (scheduled to take place Oct. 13-18). Qualified applicants will spend a fortnight touring leading German publishing houses and bookshops, after which they will be invited to participate in events at the fair itself. The program was inaugurated last year to mark the 50th anniversary of the Frankfurt Book Fair. It stresses the creation of 'international contact networks' among alumni fellows.
