Overview
- Prensa Ibérica marked the 200th issue of its literary supplement ABRIL with a private 'fiesta de abril' at the Hotel Fénix Gran Meliá during the Madrid Book Fair, bringing together authors, editors and industry figures.
- Company leaders including president Javier Moll and Ainhoa Moll publicly reaffirmed that ABRIL will continue as a core cultural project and praised the supplement’s rigorous, plural editorial line.
- Álex Sàlmon, director of ABRIL, has shaped the supplement as a cross-title space for deep literary conversations that aim to surface peripheral voices while honoring established writers.
- The event was sponsored by Grupo Planeta and featured prominent guests such as Benjamín Labatut, Fernando Aramburu and María Dueñas, highlighting the supplement’s role in boosting visibility for books during a high-revenue fair.
- Coverage places ABRIL within a busy Spanish market that publishes over 90,000 titles a year and faces structural change driven by digital workflows and the potential integration of AI, which could alter production, promotion and careers across the sector.
