For the third consecutive year, Hamad Bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) will participate in the Kuwait International Book Fair from November 20 to 30.
The HBKU Press pavilion, located in Hall 6, Booth 31, will highlight its complete catalogue of works and will host Qatari author Amal al Langawi for a book-signing ceremony on November 21.
“Our presence at international fairs validates HBKU Press as one of the key players from the Arab region in the global publishing market,” said Bachar Chebaro, executive director of HBKU Press. “We use these international opportunities to host Qatari authors in our booth in order to provide them with a platform to share their ideas and promote their work, while also exposing new audiences to different viewpoints and ways of thinking.”
The book-signing session for Langawi’s work titled ‘Here’s My Opinion; What’s Yours?’ marks one of many promotional activities that she has engaged in with the HBKU Press since her book launched earlier this year.
“Working with HBKU Press on my first book has been a true privilege,” explained Langawi. “Since the beginning of the publishing process, HBKU Press encouraged my ideas and even came up with an innovative design that captured my vision of allowing the reader the space and opportunity to form and write down their own opinions in the book as they read along.”
In the book, Langawi shares her adopted convictions while encouraging readers to join her on a journey of self-discovery and understanding by writing their own thoughts in the blank pages provided in the book.
“Forming your own opinions while considering and understanding those of others is an example of self-awareness, humility, openness, tolerance and acceptance,” she explained. “If you are able to do this, you are more likely to empathise with others and view the world through multiple, varied lenses. This is a message that is very valuable in our global community, so being able to share this message to a new audience in Kuwait is an instrumental opportunity that HBKU Press has arranged for me.”
The book fair will be held at the Kuwait International Fairground in Mishref. Opening hours will be from 9am to 1pm and from 4.30pm to 9.30pm.
