Brazilian Book Chamber
The Brazilian Book Chamber (officially: Portuguese Câmara Brasileira do Livro (CBL)) is a non-profit organization founded in 1946 for the Brazilian book market and the Brazilian book industry, with its headquarters in São Paulo . The publishers' association corresponds in its functions to the German stock exchange association .
Book fairs
After the 1st Congresso de Editores e Livreiros do Brasil and a first book fair in 1951, the Feira Popular do Livro , it has regularly organized the Bienal Internacional do Livro de São Paulo book fair since 1970 . The last edition was the 22nd Bienal in 2014 with around 800,000 visitors. The 23rd São Paulo Bienal is scheduled for autumn 2016.
The book fair in São Paulo alternates with the Bienal Internacional do Livro de Rio de Janeiro , which is organized by the partner association SNEL, the Sindicato Nacional dos Editores de Livros ; The 16th Rio Bienal 2013 ended a few weeks before Brazil was again the guest country at the Frankfurt Book Fair . At this fair, the CBL acts as an international promoter for the Brazilian publishers.
CBL, along with other partners in the Brazilian states, is heavily involved in the special government funding program for the distribution of books and reading promotion, the Plano Nacional do Livro e Leitura (PNLL), which has existed since 2006 . Here she is involved in the pricing and definition of volume discounts for the largest customer in the book market, the state and its agencies.
Literary prizes
The association awards numerous literary prizes, of which the Prêmio Jabuti de Literatura, compared to the Pulitzer Prize , is one of the most important in Brazil. This prize was initiated in 1959 by Edgard Cavalheiro , then President of the Brazilian Book Chamber.
education
As a training measure, the CBL runs a bookselling school, the Escola do Livro , in São Paulo.
Brazilian Publishers project
In 2008, the CBL founded the Projeto Brazilian Publishers with the Brazilian foreign trade agency Apex Brasil and 55 affiliated publishers in order to specifically present domestic book production on the global market and to represent it at international book fairs. For this purpose, catalogs are produced that offer an insight into publisher productions for possible license partners. This purely commercial company for the promotion of Brazilian literary production is supplemented by the state with a translation funding program from the International Book Center ( Centro Internacional do Livro - CIL) in Rio de Janeiro, founded in 2012 by the Fundação Biblioteca Nacional in conjunction with the Brazilian Ministry of Culture .
Publications
The monthly journal Panorama editorial , which has been published since year 1, 2004 ( ZDB -ID 2278071-3 ), serves as the association's body .
