The London Book Fair is a valuable forum to supplement the ongoing communication with our partners and to hear about important developments in scholarly publishing.

‘[Olympia’s] gorgeous vaulted glass roof feels like a metaphor for the Fair itself: rooted in history, but always looking upwards and outwards.’

Thanks to all our amazing international publishers and literary & TV scouts who made the agency’s Tea party for @antonyjohnston.bsky.social’s fantastic CAN YOU SOLVE THE MURDER? such a joy on the eve of #LBF25 plus our brilliant foreign rights reps The Buckman Agency 📚
Rest & recuperation from #LBF25 involved catching the Oxford Sanskrit Play last night – an adaptation of Mṛcchakaṭika (The Little Clay Cart), performed by students & Sanskritists at @stjohnsox.bsky.social. A fascinating & entertaining show!
Screenshot of a post from the Society of Authors showing part of the staff team standing behind their stand as the second day at the London Book Fair wraps. They are all smiling. Copies of The Author magazine are on the stand with turquoise tote bags and there's a big pull up SoA banner on the right that says 'empowering all types of writers, illustrators, and literary translators since 1884'. Author Sam Blake is beside the banner, standing next to Ian Giles, chair of the Translators Association.
The fab @thesocietyofauthors team were at the #LBF25 - advising authors in every aspect of their career is what they do best.
If you missed them, pop over to www.societyofauthors.org to check out the big range of member benefits incl discounts in Waterstones. As writers, we're stronger together.
Really great to be on a panel with @barringtonstoke.bsky.social Elizabeth Kellingley & Alistair Sims at #LBF25 talking about dyslexia.
Every child deserves access to books and to find their own voice & self expression through their own writing.
Books can change lives.
Writing can save lives.
Another positive year at the London Book Fair. Nice to catch up with familiar faces, meet new folk and generally be surrounded by translators and like-minded people. Our industry isn't an easy one and while events like this can be exhausting, they can also be necessary for recharging. #LBF25
MNG loved being at #LBF25. Have a look at what the team got up to.

Beautiful to reconnect with Alice McIlroy author of #TheGlassWoman @faberacademy.bsky.social at #LBF25
It was a real pleasure to see the work being done by Ailsa Bathgate @gill-lewis.bsky.social Elizabeth Kellingley and @booksonthehill.bsky.social to promote dyslexia friendly books. Such a great initiative. I will definitely help to spread the word.

...the day after the week before at The London Book Fair, and what a brilliant, buzzy week it was. THANK YOU so much to every publisher, rep, customer and publishing professional who took the time to meet with us - our success hinges on yours #LBF25 #books #reading #london #uk
We had a fantastic few days at the London Book Fair
📚 😍
Our Sales & Marketing team couldn’t resist snapping a few photos at the @bouncemarketing.bsky.social stand, next to the announcement that the updated edition of Britannica All New Children's Encyclopedia is coming out this September!

My good news is that the people of publishing came up trumps again at #LBF25, so many of them very kindly giving up their time – when they were no doubt already heaving with meetings – to talk with our students about what it’s *really* like working in the industry.
#LBF25 was great, thank you.
But so tired now and haven't even posted anything about it yet (will do soon) as it's been a whirlwind.

Becka Oliver (Kevin Anderson & Associates)-"Four 'C's of Querying Agents": 1. CONNECTION-why that agent specifically? 2. CONTEXT-where will your book sit in the store? 3. COMPEL-give enough plot/story to make agent want more. 4. CREDENTIALS-Who are you and why you writing this book? #LBF25
This week we’ve mostly been on recon at London Book Fair #LBF25 #Londonbookfair
Three days of many meetings at #LBF25 is over and I am on the train home. I am thinking about how I’ve just been in a big hall of people that make books and sell books and deliver books, like me. It’s tiring and hard work but we are there every single year doing what we do best! 📚
Familius titles have been overseas in London this past week!
Our foreign rights agency, DropCap Inc., has been presenting our titles at The London Book Fair, meeting with international clients.

Attended the London Book Fair for the very first time this week. Learned a ton about the publishing industry - how tough it is, but also how big - with no many different ways to reach your desired readership. #LBF25
#lbf25 over, raced over to Cambridge, where I’m speaking tomorrow. 59 meetings in three days, great things happening for @midascampaigns.bsky.social @xigxaguk.bsky.social, went to @ipghq.bsky.social stand party, saw lots of friends and colleagues, had dinner with some of my favourite people.
On your way home from #LBF25? Why not get to know the team of hot-shots behind @stryvlingpress.bsky.social (and maybe give them a follow)?
On the train home from #LBF25, making a start on the next lot of marking, due back on Monday.
What a way to celebrate LET'S PLAY's publication this week - seeing it on display at #LBF25! Thank you to amazing publisher @childsplaybooks.bsky.social for your belief in the book and kind words below. Thanks @bouncemarketing.bsky.social for showing it off so beautifully on your stand too!
