In explaining the new partnership Nurnberg said in the announcement: “I’ve been fascinated by the Turkish market for a number of years, where there is a keen interest in literature from all over the world, a plethora of independent bookshops and a broad array of publishers large and small. I have also been following Amy and Dilek’s initiatives and efforts, and have admired their utter professionalism. Dilek’s knowledge of children’s writing is an additional bonus. Turkey is a natural addition to the ANA network and we are delighted by this new association.”
