ARI LITERARY AND TALENT AGENCY AT THE INTERNATIONAL FRANKFURT BOOK FAIR 2025
ARI Literary and Talent Agency participated in the Frankfurt Book Fair 2025, one of the world’s leading and most dynamic publishing events that gathers thousands of writers, publishers, agents, translators, and literary professionals from across the globe. This annual fair serves as a platform for exchanging ideas, discovering new voices, and building bridges between different literary traditions.
Prior to the opening of the fair, on October 14, ARI Agency was invited to the Fischer Verlag reception. The event featured László Krasznahorkai, the 2025 Nobel Prize laureate in Literature.
ARI serves as Fischer’s co-agent in Armenia, and the meeting provided an excellent opportunity to discuss future collaborations and the dissemination of Fischer titles in Armenian translation.
During the fair, Arevik Ashkharoyan, director of ARI, met with international publishers who have already published works by Armenian authors represented by ARI, as well as with many new publishers who expressed great interest in contemporary Armenian literature. These meetings provided an inspiring opportunity to strengthen existing partnerships and to open new paths for bringing Armenian voices to the world.
Anna Baghramyan, representing ARI, was actively engaged in buying translation rights for Armenian publishers, ensuring that Armenian readers will soon enjoy some of today’s most remarkable international titles.
On October 15, the Armenian National Stand hosted the Special Program for publishers from Ukraine and neighboring countries, where ARI presented the Armenian publishing scene, introducing the diversity and potential of Armenian literature to new partners and readers.
The participation of ARI at the Frankfurt Book Fair once again highlighted the growing visibility and international presence of Armenian literature, and reaffirmed the agency’s mission to build cultural bridges through books.
