About the event
The last event in Romania's programme at the 2025 London Book Fair sees a thought-provoking panel discussion on translation across borders and publishing trends.

From Romania, we’ll be joined by publishers and writers Denisa Comănescu (Humanitas) and Dan Pleșa (Vellant), while the UK will be represented by Neil Astley (Bloodaxe Books) and Monique Charlesworth (Moth Books), acclaimed authors in their own right.
