Reading the World: Food Culture. Future Living
ARPress is excited to announce its participation in the 2025 Hong Kong Book Fair, taking place July 16–22 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
Known for championing diverse voices and thought-provoking works, ARPress will join leading global publishers, authors, and readers at one of Asia’s largest and most anticipated literary events. This marks ARPress’ debut appearance at the Hong Kong Book Fair, a milestone that reflects its growing international reach and commitment to connecting stories across cultures. The Hong Kong Book Fair is a true celebration of the written word, and we look forward to engaging with readers, writers, and the global publishing community.
ARPress will feature a curated selection of titles spanning fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and more. Attendees will have the chance to discover new releases and learn more about ARPress’ publishing mission. Though rooted in a strong independent spirit, ARPress maintains an international outlook. Our catalog includes voices from across cultures and continents, and we’re committed to building bridges between readers and writers through translation, partnerships, and global book events.
Every summer, the Hong Kong Book Fair transforms the city into a global hub for literature, culture, and conversation, and 2025 promises to be one of the most exciting editions yet. From July 16 to 22, the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre will welcome hundreds of thousands of readers, publishers, authors, and literary professionals from around the world.
The Hong Kong Book Fair is one of Asia’s largest and most influential literary events, drawing participants from over 30 countries. For publishers, it’s a chance to showcase titles to a truly international audience, make foreign rights deals, and connect with distributors and retailers in the Asia-Pacific market. It’s not just about selling books; it’s about building visibility and establishing a global presence in a region known for its deep appreciation of culture and storytelling.
Each year, the fair features a rich lineup of cultural events, including author talks, literary forums, and panel discussions on everything from translation trends to digital publishing. This year, the theme of the 35th Hong Kong Book Fair is “Reading the World: Food Culture. Future Living.” It will highlight a curated selection of literary works and books related to food culture. Readers are invited to explore culinary traditions and histories from diverse perspectives, understand the connection between diet and healthy living, and discover how technology is shaping future eating habits and lifestyles.
The “Theme of the Year Seminar Series” will include multiple sessions, featuring a diverse array of authors and speakers passionate about food culture. Topics will span a wide range, guiding attendees to explore the rich history of food traditions, the connection between diet and health, and the future of food, including how modern technology is reshaping our eating habits and attitudes toward life.
Whether you’re showcasing an exciting new catalog, seeking to expand into Asian markets, or simply hoping to meet like-minded creatives, the 2025 Hong Kong Book Fair is an invaluable opportunity. For ARPress and others in the indie publishing world, it’s more than just a fair, it’s a celebration of stories that cross borders and bring people together.
