The Future of Asian Children’s Literature
I will always miss my country
I cant wait to be a publisher of children’s literature from Southeast Asia, to uncover the captivating and diverse world of Asian literature. As a former literary agent specialising in bringing exceptional books from Asia to Europe, I am always committed to showcasing the rich tapestry of voices, stories, and perspectives that have often been underrepresented in the European literary scene. This is how bad I miss my country.
If you cant go home, bring your home to you!
I must say that I am not successful economically in the industry, but I am proud to use my keen eye for exceptional storytelling and a deep understanding of both the Asian and European markets, I was dedicated to bridging the gap and connecting talented Asian authors with eager European readers. Until I reached to the point that I can no longer support it.
From gripping contemporary fiction to thought-provoking historical novels, from lyrical poetry to immersive non-fiction, the literary landscape of Asia is teeming with undiscovered treasures waiting to enchant and inspire European audiences. It was such an honor with full respect to witness those I represented growing in international stage, for one and other reasons, I may no longer take a tiny credit of it.
By being a publisher in the near future, I hope to gain more access to a carefully curated selection of thought-provoking, beautifully crafted books that offer a fresh and compelling glimpse into the heart and soul of Asia. With my expertise in navigating the complexities of international publishing, translation, and cultural nuances, I want to ensure that these literary works find their well-deserved place on international market and in the hearts of readers.
