Tomorrow is the day! The FIL Guadalajara 2025 officially begins, and with it comes a wave of creativity, ideas, and literary energy crashing over Expo Guadalajara. Over its nine days, FIL brings together book lovers, creators, and professionals for what might be the most important gathering in the Spanish-speaking publishing world.
ARPress is honored to join this vibrant international environment in 2025. We will bring a curated selection of our most compelling titles; spanning fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and diverse voices, reflecting our commitment to literary innovation, cultural exchange, and stories that resonate with readers across borders.
Participating in FIL marks a significant milestone in our global outreach efforts. It offers ARPress the opportunity to build stronger relationships in the Latin American and Spanish-speaking markets, explore new rights and licensing partnerships, and engage with one of the most enthusiastic reading communities in the world. The fair’s emphasis on international collaboration, creativity, and cultural dialogue aligns seamlessly with our mission to champion bold, original storytelling.
One of the most exciting parts of the fair is its internationalism. With Barcelona as the Guest of Honor, you’ll find a dedicated pavilion featuring contemporary Catalan authors, cross-cultural dialogues, and literature that bridges Spain and Latin America. It’s a chance to explore not just Mexican publishing, but global Spanish-language voices in a shared celebration of books.
If you love professional conversations, FIL’s conference program is one of its crown jewels. For three days (Dec 1–3), publishing professionals engage in talks about copyright, translation, digital transformation, and more. For authors, this is your moment–to pitch, to learn, and maybe to walk away with dreams turned into contracts.
For readers, the fair is a playground. Expect book presentations, autograph sessions, and panels with renowned writers. You’ll also find the FIL Children’s Pavilion buzzing with energy—storytellers, illustrators, and young readers all sharing the joy of reading. Don’t miss the themed areas and the curated book catalog, which includes a mind-blowing number of titles from publishers across the globe.
There’s also something magical about FIL’s night sale on December 5, when the fair stays open until 11 PM. It’s the perfect moment for late-night browsing, good conversations, and discovering special editions or hidden literary gems.
Tonight, rest well—but also imagine the stories waiting for you tomorrow. Bring your camera. Bring your notebook. Bring your love of books. Walk into the fair ready not just to consume, but to connect. FIL is more than a book fair—it’s a living, breathing world built on imagination and shared stories.
See you in Guadalajara, where the literary world comes together.
