Organization
The Motovun Group consists of approximately 80 members from the world-wide publishing industry. They are professionals holding senior positions, in charge of the publishing programmes.
Motovun stands for: conducting business in a relaxed atmosphere, making friends with business partners, transacting business with utter confidence and trust. I must say, post Motovun I am a better publisher.
