MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Message from the President This Directory of the members of the Singapore Book Publishers Association provides detailed information on the members of the book publishing companies based in Singapore and some of the association’s activities. Members in this directory constitute the majority of the book publishing industry in Singapore and this list continues to grow. We estimate that our industry contributes some S$1.2 billion to the local economy. Exciting new members have been added to the established local publishers. It is not surprising that education publishing has always been one of our core pillars, stemming from Singapore’s world-class education system. In addition, the local market for fiction and trade nonfiction has been growing with many new locally published books geared for both the local and international markets. Our STM and professional publishers have continued to form partnership with Singaporean and Asian researchers and academics to publish ground- breaking scientific and academic content. We are glad to note that large multinational publishers have long been part of our publishing landscape and are an important part of our industry. Attracted by Singapore’s conducive business-friendly environment, IP protection laws and world class education institutions, these companies set up their Asian regional offices here to capitalize on the growing markets of ASEAN and other parts of Asia. We hope to encourage more international publishers to set up their regional headquarters in Singapore to take advantage of the growing Asian book market and be part of our dynamic ecosystem. Book publishers, local and foreign-owned, partner Singapore’s students, parents and teachers in education, power Singapore’s research and development efforts with scholarly communications, and play a foundational role in Singapore’s creative economy by supporting our literary talents.
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Today, the book publishing industry is facing an uncertain couple of years due to COVID 19. Online sales of print books and e-books have not been able to cover the loss in revenues experienced by physical stores. The number of bookstores in the country has declined due to high rentals and the current pandemic crisis only worsens the profitability of the bookstores, resulting in more store closures. We have to work together as an industry on these bread and butter issues. We need to explore new ways to sell and market our books. Our association and members are all very receptive in working with new partners to expand our industry. Do approach anyone of us if you have any interesting projects or initiatives in mind. These are extraordinary times which we shall overcome. I am sure with a collaborative mindset, the industry will emerge stronger and more ready to take on any future challenges.

SINGAPORE BOOK AWARDS
SINGAPORE BOOK AWARDS The Singapore Book Awards is an annual industry award for books published in Singapore. Held annually since 2016, the Book Awards shine the spotlight on the quality of published works and celebrate the achievements of the local publishing industry. For 2021, the award categories have been reorganised to 10 award categories to better reflect and recognise the range of books published in Singapore. The categories of the Book Awards are: • Best Audio Book • Best Literary Work • Best Book Cover Design • Best Non-Fiction Title • Best Education Title • Best Picture Book • Best Hybrid Book • Best Young Persons Title • Best Illustrated Non-Fiction Title • Book of the Year The Book Awards was first launched in 2012 through the efforts of the Executive Committee led by then-SBPA President Triena Ong. Known then as the Publishing Awards, there were five award categories (Best Cover Design, Best Debut Work, Best Non-Fiction Title, Best Novel and Best Retail). The winners of the Publishing Awards were announced at a gala dinner at the Rendezvous Hotel during the Singapore Writers’ Festival 2012. Between 2012-2016, the Association concentrated on building up the presence of the Singapore publishing industry at overseas book fairs. The awards were relaunched in 2016 as the Singapore Book Awards with 8 award categories. In 2020, the number of award categories increased to 11 award categories with the addition of the Best Audiobook Title, Best Digital Marketing Campaign and Best E-Book Title.

SBPA INTERNSHIP PROGRAMME
SBPA INTERNSHIP PROGRAMME The inaugural SBPA Internship Programme was successfully held from 25 May to 31 July 2015. An instant success with students and member companies, the number of participating companies has increased from six for the first run to twelve companies in 2019. The class of interns has also expanded from nine interns in 2015 to 23 interns in 2019. Although the COVID-19 pandemic has prevented the organisation of site visits, the SBPA Internship Programme continued with a series of virtual seminars from 18 May to 24 July 2020. The concept of the SBPA Internship Programme originated from Peter Schoppert, SBPA President (2014-2020). Interns are recruited via a central process administered by the SBPA Secretariat. Companies would remain responsible for their interns while the SBPA organised a centralised training programme and site visits for the interns. These training programmes include introductory courses to book editing and copyright, while the site visits included trips to printers and bookstores. Through this comprehensive programme, interns are given a wide exposure to the industry, with opportunities to network among peers and learn about technical areas from the most qualified professionals. The SBPA Secretariat would like to thank the following speakers for lending their time and support for this meaningful and educational initiative.
• Mr Peter Schoppert of NUS Press • Mr Chua Hong Koon of World Scientific Publishing Co • Ms Mindy Pang of Marshall Cavendish International (Asia) • Ms Zeenath Kuraisha of Asia Pacific Sales and Marketing Academy • Mr Andrew Koh of Awesome Sites • Ms Christine Chong of Tusitala • Ms Elaine Ee, Ms Joyce Choong and Ms Charmaine Oon of National Gallery Singapore • Ms Ng Choy Foong of Markono Print Media • Mr Melvin Choo of Alkem Company
• Mr Kenny Leck of Books Actually • Mr Wong Chee Hoong of Times Bookstores • Mr Keith Kwai of Times Bookstores • Mr Edmund Wee of Epigram Books • Mr Shalu Wasu of Storytel Singapore • Ms Nora Nazerene of Penguin Random House SEA • Mr Ng Kah Gay of Ethos Books • Ms Chong Lingying of Asiapac Books • Ms Winnie Fok of Cengage Learning Asia • Ms Patricia Karunungan
SBPA INTERNSHIP PROGRAMME
inally on 27 July, the SBPA Internship Programme concluded with a closing speech from speaker Peter Schoppert (NUS Press) with F advice to interns on what it means to break into the publishing industry and what the future of publishing will potentially look like.
On 12 June, Chua Hong Koon (World Scientific), spoke about the role of commissioning and acquisitions editors and the critical role they play in a publishing company.
On 19 June, Zeenath Kuraisha (Asia Pacific Sales & Marketing Academy) gave an in-depth presentation on marketing strategy and
how social media can help boost a company’s marketing efforts. Andrew Koh (Awesome Sites) continued by sharing about Search Engine Optimisation and the importance of not only the quantity but also the quality of traffic to one’s website.
On 26 June, Elaine Ee, Joyce Choong and Charmaine Oon (National Gallery Singapore) introduced the interns to the process of publishing art books as well as general titles accompanying art exhibitions at the National Gallery Singapore.
Details of the 2021 SBPA Internship Programme will be released soon. To take part, please contact the Secretariat at info@singaporebookpublishers.sg

ABOUT THE SBPA
About SBPA
History The concept of a book publishers association was first mooted at a workshop on “Book Publishing and Distribution” held in Singapore in 1966. It was not until 19 July 1968 that the Singapore Book Publishers Association was formally incorporated with 22 member companies, 14 of which were of Singapore origin. Practically all of the original members were engaged in the publishing, importation and distribution of textbooks. The changing composition of today’s membership reflects the industry’s broadening scope as content developers across media.

Tusitala is a digital storytelling studio that reimagines the future of reading where tech meets art. We use our expertise in technology, UI and UX, and design to transcend the traditional boundaries of print and digital.
Tusitala started in 2010 and is based in Singapore. It means “teller of tales” in Samoan. It was the nickname given to author Robert Louis Stevenson by the locals of Samoa, where he spent the last years of his life telling stories. Our work embodies the essence of a storyteller: using different mediums and techniques to deliver a powerful message to audiences.
