We are thrilled to announce that ARPress will participate in the Guadalajara International Book Fair (Feria Internacional del Libro de Guadalajara, FIL) 2025, one of the world’s most important cultural and literary events. The fair will take place in late November 29 to early December 7, 2025, at Expo Guadalajara in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.
The Guadalajara International Book Fair, founded in 1987 by the University of Guadalajara, has grown into the largest book fair in the Spanish-speaking world and one of the most influential literary gatherings worldwide. Known for its dynamic blend of cultural programming, professional opportunities, and public engagement, FIL brings together hundreds of thousands of readers, thousands of publishing professionals, and exhibitors from more than 40 countries every year.
Designed as a meeting point for the global book industry, FIL serves as a major hub for rights negotiations, translation opportunities, academic exchanges, and international publishing partnerships. Its mission has always been to support the free circulation of ideas, celebrate literary excellence, and promote dialogue between cultures.
Each edition of the fair features an impressive lineup of events, including author presentations, professional forums, panels and discussions, illustration and graphic arts exhibitions, workshops, concerts, and activities for readers of all ages. FIL is also well known for its Guest of Honor program, which highlights the culture and literature of a different country or region every year.
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.
With its rich programming, unparalleled professional opportunities, and unmatched cultural energy, the Guadalajara International Book Fair 2025 promises to be an inspiring experience for authors, illustrators, educators, publishers, and book lovers alike. ARPress is excited to participate in this global celebration of literature.
We warmly invite you to visit ARPress at FIL 2025 to explore our newest catalogues, meet our team, and discover the stories and voices that shape our publishing vision. Together, let’s celebrate literature that crosses borders and inspires readers everywhere.
