International Editorial Visits - Armenia will take place on 18-20^th Feb 2014, and will welcome a group of international publishers and book professionals in Yerevan. Within the Editorial Visits a group of European book professionals will get to know the local market and will explore the cooperation possibilities in terms of translation rights exchange. Among other invitees there are editors from several outstanding European mid-size publishing houses, which focus on the region or on international translated literature.

Their host in Armenia is the Armenian Literature Foundation (ALF), established to ensure the international recognition of and access to Armenian literature, and to contribute to the development of the Armenian book market. It aims at dissemination of information and promotion of Armenian literature locally and internationally, through translation grants, participation at and organization of book fairs, professional development programs, seminars and business meetings. ALF has recently become the local partner of the Book Platform Project.
