The London Book Fair

From very modest beginnings in the Berners Hotel near Oxford Street in 1971 as the Specialist Publishers’ Exhibition for Librarians, The London Book Fair – as it took the name in 1977 – has grown to be an essential part of the international book trade calendar.

The London Book Fair is the global marketplace for story creators. The publishers and deal makers. The copyright pros, the commissioners, and the global licensers. Those involved in rights negotiation across print, audio, TV, film and digital channels. This is a salute to the story creators. Because this year the story is all about you.

Taking place between 5 - 7 April 2022 at Olympia London, The London Book Fair will reunite the publishing community for three days of business, networking, and learning. This will be a defining moment for the publishing community.

Derby Book Festival

Derby Book Festival was born over a glass of wine in QUAD by two book lovers, Jenny Denton and Sian Hoyle in February 2014. With no previous experience of running a Festival, but heaps of enthusiasm and ideas, they approached the key arts and educational organisations in the city. Their response was unanimously positive!

Derby Book Festival was launched one cold January day in Waterstones when, with the support of our partners and friends, we shared our plans for the first Festival, to be held in June 2015 over eight days.

Since then the city has embraced the Festival: it is now an annual event in the cultural calendar with a nine day Festival each June. In October 2019 we held our first three day Autumn Edition.

The British Book Awards

The annual celebration of the best books, bookshops and returns with an in-person and online event on 23rd May 2022.

The British Book Awards, aka The Nibbies, represent the absolute best of the book trade, showcasing the books, bookshops, agents and publishers who make this industry shine.

This year's celebrations will return to Central London on 23rd May 2022 alongside an online ceremony for those who cannot attend in person.

Chair of the judges and editor of The Bookseller Philip Jones said: “The return to an in-person event in 2022 will mark the culmination of an incredible and challenging two years for the trade as well as The British Book Awards.

2022 sees some exciting changes to the awards categories. The Books of the Year strand will now include the Discover Book of the Year, aimed at underrepresented writers across genres, and a split of the Children’s awards into Non-fiction and Illustrated, in addition to the Fiction Award.

Edinburgh International Book Festival

The Edinburgh International Book Festival is a registered charity, a non-profit making organisation. It is a distinctive international showcase celebrating the written word, literature and ideas. It brings leading and emerging international, British and Scottish authors and thinkers together to inspire each other and audiences in an extensive programme of public events.

The Book Festival runs its own independent bookselling operation. All proceeds from the sales of books are invested back into the running of the Book Festival.

Our next hybrid Book Festival will feature hundreds of events for adults and children, all with in-person audiences; many will also be streamed live on the website. The 2022 Edinburgh International Book Festival will take place at the University of Edinburgh’s Edinburgh College of Art on Lauriston Place in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town.
