The global publishing market has never been more exciting, and every day myriad publishing stories cross my screen that I’d love to develop here at TNPS, but there simply isn’t time.

But if you’re reading TNPS in the first place you probably share my obsession with all things international publishing, and would no doubt enjoy some of these stories.
So a regular feature of TNPS is a collation of links to some of the best publishing stories around the web that I haven’t been able to devote a full post to.
Here’s today’s collation (and yes, there’s actually 12 this time around but if you don’t count you won’t notice):

India – Raazi, Thugs of Hindostan, Fault in Our Stars: Bollywood’s Rising Adaptation Trend.
Middle East – Yara Bamieh and Samar Mahfouz Barraj on Creating Award-winning Arabic Children’s Books.
Pakistan – Writers urged to highlight Kashmir issue through pen.
Tunisia / Dubai – Kalimat makes Tunis five libraries richer.
