Register now for the Mentoring Program - Colombia
2022–2023

The objective of the Mentoring Program – Colombia 2022–2023 is to provide a group of eligible publishers with export expertise to help them familiarize themselves with activities relating to exporting into the Colombian market (examination and evaluation of their export potential, promotional activities, rights sales, distribution mechanisms). This program will allow eligible publishers to increase their export knowledge and properly evaluate the efforts needed to export their titles into this market.

Program activities will include a webinar providing an overview of publishing in Colombia, the sale of rights, and distribution in the Colombian market, and a one-on-one online session with the consultant Luis Fernando Páez on the eligible publishers' potential in this market. A recording will be available after the webinar.

The deadline to apply is January 27, 2023.
