Sao Paulo International Book Biennial

Brazil's largest book fair and one of the most important in the Portuguese-speaking world, the Sao Paulo Bienal do Livro turns the Expo Center Norte into a 50,000-square-metre temple to reading. Over ten days the fair welcomes more than 600,000 visitors, hundreds of authors, and the country's full publishing apparatus, with strong attention to translated fiction, Latin American voices, and the children's market. It is the commercial centre of gravity for the Lusophone book trade and a critical access point for any English-language publisher pursuing the Brazilian rights market.
