The London Book Fair 2011

The London Book Fair 2011 officially kicks off next Monday, April 11th and runs through to the 13th at the Earls Court Exhibition Centre. Last year’s event was badly hit by the curtailing of flights over the UK and Europe due to the Icelandic volcano eruption and the number of trade visitors was dramatically down on previous years. Without a smoke cloud in sight, normal business will resume with this year’s event.
The key themes of this year’s event are:
  • Children’s & Young Adult Publishing
  • Russia Market Focus
  • Film & TV (restricted access: IRC badge holders and film/TV producers only)
  • Libraries
  • Literary Translation
  • Comic & Graphic Novels
You can visit the official website for the London Book Fair and also read the event blog. Courtesy of the website, I have listed below this year’s seminars with active links to provide more detail:
