PubMagNet is an informal network of the leading international magazines for the publishing industry which we initiated (see picture on top from the kick off meeting in 2008 in Vienna) and coordinate: Members include

BogMarketed, Denmark
BookDao, PR China
Book Industry Magazine, Russia
Buchreport, Germany
DosDoce.com, Spain
Informazioni editoriali, Italy
Livres Hebdo, France
PublishNews, Brazil
Publishers Weekly, US
Svensk Bokhandel, Sweden
The Bookseller, UK

By spring 2012, at the London Book Fair, the group has expanded from just a few European attendants to a truly international circle of journalists (and friends)

It seems as if it all started only last season, but it was 10 years ago when we first met in Vienna, for an informal exchange between professional publications for the international book trade, and a few like minded colleagues interested in publishing markets and developments.

Within a decade, its members come from all over the world, and yet it has remained to be as informal as in the very beginnings. Only, that PubMagNet - for Publishing Magazines Network, as we call it - has evolved into an ongoing exchange of ideas, professional experiences, innovative impulses - and also a group of friends.

In 2017, we met in Paris, to celebrate the 10th anniversary for PubMagNet, ready to continue, seamlessly, into the second decade.
