Feria Internacional del Libro de Guadalajara

2025-02-14

Taiwan has been participating in the Guadalajara International Book Fair, the largest event in the Spanish-language publishing industry, for over a decade, actively expanding its reach in the Spanish-speaking market of nearly 500 million people.

In 2024, during the fair (November 30 to December 8), TAICCA set up the Taiwan Pavilion under the theme “How Far Will I Go?” and, in collaboration with the fair organizers, invited two Taiwanese creators—Bei-Lynn and Liu Hsiu Kung—who have published works in Spanish. In addition to participating in the book fair’s official events, they will also hold workshops and lectures at local bookstores and schools, engaging directly with Spanish-speaking readers to foster closer connections.

Recognizing the vast and rapidly growing Spanish-language children’s and young adult book market, TAICCA will also launch the first-ever Taiwan Children's Book Exhibition in partnership with Mexican bookstore chains. The event will span major cities across Mexico and be hosted in influential bookstores such as Fondo de Cultura Económica, which has a 90-year history, and Librerías Gandhi, the largest bookstore chain in Mexico. This initiative aims to deepen Taiwan’s presence in the local retail market and enhance promotional efforts.
