IPA's Educational Publishers Forum (EPF) held its first virtual meeting on 19 June 2020, because members were unable to travel to Istanbul as planned due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
A crucial part of IPA's mission is to inform member associations and the wider global publishing community about breaking developments which will impact publishers. We do this through a number of channels. the IPA website, our monthly e-newsletter, press releases and the IPA's dedicated social media feeds.
IPA President, Hugo Setzer, talks to Trasvin Jittidecharak, Secretary General of the ASEAN Book Publishers Association, and founder of Silkworm Books in Thailand, about how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected publishers in the region and what the future may hold.
Following the widely reported attempts by President Trump to prevent the release of Ambassador John Bolton’s book, The Room Where It Happened, the IPA has declared its full backing for the American publisher of the book, Simon & Schuster.
