ABOUT THE PAVILION
SINGAPORE — nestled at the southern point of the Malay archipelago, a small island that is all at once a thriving city, and a garden of cultures, languages, and forms. Discover some of the most exciting voices and powerful stories our writers and publishers have to offer.
From genre-mashing reinventions of Southeast Asian mythologies, to deep dives into our diverse foodways, to award-winning kidlit titles that have been made into musicals… step in and you’ll see: we’re a small island, with big reads to share.
The Singapore Pavilion at the 75th Frankfurter Buchmesse is organised by the Singapore Book Publishers Association, supported by the National Arts Council Singapore. It is located at Hall 6.0, Stand B5.
