This year, the U.S. Department of Commerce's  Global Publishing Team is bringing industry experts to you at Book Expo in Los Angeles (May 28-31)!

The U.S. Commercial Service is the export promotion agency of the U.S. Commerce Department. Our experienced colleagues from various Embassies and Consulates worldwide will be on hand during BookExpo in Los Angeles to meet with U.S. publishers, discuss market opportunities, and provide key contact information. If you are looking to identify international partners, agents, distributors or publishers to sell your rights or products, you cannot afford to miss this opportunity to meet with us. Our publishing specialists from Czech Republic, Germany and China can meet with you to discuss opportunities in their markets and regions.
