This year, Frankfurt Book FairWorld's largest trade fair for books; held annually mid-October at Frankfurt Trade Fair, Germany; First three days exclusively for trade visitors; general public can attend last two. will include a space dedicated to the boom in New Adult publishing. In the fair's own words, the 8,000 sq metre area will offer "an additional home to the successful New Adult genre and its subgenres Romantasy and Dark College [known in the UK as Dark Academia], along with many queer publishing houses". The move reflects a growing recognition of a category that had previously been underserved by mainstream publishing.
