While reading about Cambodian people might not be as exciting as writing about what has killed them I thought I'd post a topic dealing with the reality of today. Hopefully people will read the brief yet informative article in the latest online issue of the Phnom Penh Post. The current state of the Cambodian book publishing industry... The unlucrative state of the Khmer novel
quote:You Bo is president of the Khmer Writers' Association (KWA), which was founded in 1954. Its mission is to uphold Khmer literature, and it has trained hundreds of young writers since 1993.

Overview of the Situation of Libraries in Cambodia I tried to fix the link in the above post but I can't find the article anymore. So I posted one on the state of libraries. To bad. It was a great article on the state of publishing in a Cambodia. I realize the publishing a book here in Canada might be a tough way to make a living but imagine trying to publish a book in a country where much of the population is rural and access to school is relegated to people who can pay in cash.
