Some comments about the IRC:

Eirin Hagen, Hagen Agency, Norway:
"A well-functioning arena for selling rights.
The International Rights Centre has become more and more important and a well-functioning arena for selling rights. I think that the participation of publishers from other countries will increase when they realize that they can "do the Nordic countries" during some book fair days in Göteborg - pleasant and efficient."

Gudrun Hebel, Agentur Literatur, Germany;
"A very good atmosphere.
The International Rights Centre is not very big which contributes to such a good atmosphere and contact between writers and publishers, and publishers and agents. Arranging meetings in Göteborg makes the schedule in Frankfurt less busy, which is important. I am looking forward to next year's Fair!"
