Fellowship Program
Application Now Open!

※ This program is supported by the Changbi Culture Foundation and the Paik Poongje Publishing Foundation.
The Seoul International Book Fair has established itself as the largest book festival in Korea and one of Asia’s leading book fairs, bringing together publishers, authors, and readers in one place. It has also grown into an important platform for cultural exchange and publishing trade by organizing the Korean Pavilion at international book fairs, introducing Korean books to the world while bringing global publishing trends to Korea.
The Seoul International Book Fair’s Fellowship Program is an international exchange initiative designed to foster active business relationships and promote rights exchange between publishing professionals from around the world and Korean publishing professionals.
Supported by the Changbi Culture Foundation, selected participants of the 2026 Fellowship Program will be able to use the Rights Center at the fair free of charge and will receive round-trip airfare support. In addition, through networking programs organized during the fair, we hope to facilitate broader exchanges and encourage more dynamic business collaborations among participants.
