As we all know, due to the huge market demand and the overall decline of the publishing industry, the publication of children's books has increased against the trend. Last year alone, more than 40,000 children's books were published, increasing sales by 14%. It is reported that children's books have surpassed social sciences and become the largest category in China book market last year. It is no exaggeration to say that in the early children's book publishing market, a set of children's books can really support a publishing house.

Therefore, children's books are not only the darling of China publishing market, but also the savior. As a result, when the publishing industry discovered the gold mine of children's books, it almost rushed to set up the children's book department. You can see that almost every publishing house in China is publishing picture books and children's books. Even if this publishing house has no previous experience in publishing children's books, it is an agricultural society, an industrial society and even a water conservancy society. Of course, not to mention nearly a thousand private publishing companies, large and small.

The huge market share of children's books publishing is mostly contributed by foreign children's books due to the lack of domestic original books. So the way they publish children's books is also very simple: buy copyright.

I bought it from the copyright agency, went to foreign book fairs, looked at the list of major children's books, and bought it from foreign publishing houses ... One year passed, two years passed, five years passed, and ten years passed ... Undeniably, at first, these classic works of good quality really enriched the reading gaps of our children. Let our children, through such good works, open one window after another to the world.

This is the "Great Leap Forward" era of children's books in China. At the 20 14 Shanghai Children's Book Fair, Victoria, the director of American children's books from the United States, said, "At the Children's Book Fair, you can feel how hot the children's book market in China is! We have represented more than 65,438+000 independent publishers in the United States and signed an order for 80,000 copies, which is so exciting! " This shows that book copyright transactions are hot. However, the creation of children's books around the world will not be mass-produced because of the huge demand in China market. Especially those works that have already become classics, this is what counts. The demand for children's books in China is so great that there are not enough foreign authors.
