BolognaBookPlus is an initiative for professionals in the general book industry launched in 2021 by BCBF/BolognaFiere, in collaboration with the Italian Publishers Association (AIE), to expand the scope of the Bologna Children’s Book Fair by reaching out to a wider audience in the field of publishing with an exhibition space, training events, conferences and prizes for book design.
I support the team with international publishing industry communications at key points in the year in the build-up to the annual event which, in 2027, takes place 5-8 April.
BolognaBookPlus is the lead sponsor of the NielsenIQ Bestseller Awards, the only awards based on UK volume sales data, recognising all-time sales across print and e-book formats. I lead the PR for this high-profile and celebratory awards ceremony, one of the first major events in the publishing industry calendar, which takes place in central London each January.
