Lavanya Lipi: Tell us about organizing this book fair.
Mazharul Islam: So far it looks good. We told the fair authorities the problems we had in the past year. For example, we have repeatedly met and discussed several issues related to many things like dust, lack of sufficient lighting, Suhrawardy's field not to fill small or big holes, adequate arrangements for writers-readers, aesthetics of fair premises etc. Hopefully, these problems will be overcome now.
Lavanya: Speak about the current state of the publication industry.
Mazhar: I believe that the publication industry is in the best place. Many young-educated children are now coming to the publishing business. It's about hope. I visited many countries of the world and saw that young people do good work. Our country is also doing. However, it is said that everyone is doing quality books, not so much. There are good and bad things. But new ones are coming! It's very important to come. The more you come, the better the sector will be in the sector.
Lavanya: Talk about the value of the writings of new authors. It is heard that the newer people bring out books with money. But due to lack of ability, many talented writers are going unpredictably.
Mazhar: It is good to see me that a young man is not writing bad language without being involved in bad habits, without writing wasting time, books are out. Of course, not all text is quality. But it is written! It may be possible to write a day to write. Many people write well. And it is not a big crime to book books with money. She is not doing anything worse. The book is out. The new people who write well, their books are also coming out. And the responsibility of creating a new writer is not only but the publisher. Media also has the responsibility Our daily newspapers do not just write the writings of nomadic writers on their literature pages, but publish the writings of young people who are writing well. Then the publishers will also be watching. Actually, we all have responsibility.
Lavanya: Publisher's responsibility is not only to publish books but to create new authors. What role do you play in creating a new writer for a big publisher?
Majhar: Other publishes have always been established, along with the popular lakes as well as publishing new books of LAKS. This is happening now. Our meeting is eleven months old That is, the next book fair from one book fair. The book has been going on since one month after the fair is ready for the next month's fair.
Lavanya: New books have been published and many books have become bookmarked. Other books of the year do not appear to be out of the book. What is the reason?
Mazhar: Seeing the book is not only the publisher's practice of art and culture, but also his profession. How many copies of the book are sold at other times of the year? Our readers also now buy books from the book fair. Did not buy at another time. If you do not return the amount of investment to find a book, then the writer-publisher will continue!
Validity: As a major publication, such as the Edit Council, and under the supervision of footpiece and other process is completed. Is it not the reason for not publishing the publication and publishing of new writers in the present publication?
Mazhar: The reality is always difficult. Not all publishers have the ability to run an edit council. On him there are paper prices, additional taxes on paper import etc. So, after the departure of the local paper, we were hopeful that maybe the price of the paper would be reduced. But in fact it did not, but they did not allow the reduction of the import paper. Because it will also reduce their paper prices. In fact, if the government is sincere to solve these problems, then the publication industry will get back their lost heritage.
