London Book Fair 2024  was incredible. It’s hard to summarise our time here, but here goes…

Firstly thank you Independent Publishers Guild for hosting us. As ever, it’s been great to exhibit alongside other members and have all your help, support and energy.

New neighbours! Roll & Play Press Press are a brilliant publisher, and lovely to boot. Sam Bartlett and Kay Lubwika Bartlett, thanks for putting up with our constant shuffling in and out of our booth!

David & Charles Publishing - our first customer and a wonderful advocate, we just love spending time with you at fairs.

Lucy McCarraher / Rethink Press - thank you for chairing Nadim and Sara Lloyd for a brilliant discussion. We had plenty more conversations with the audience afterwards - it was a great panel.

Justine Solomons / Byte The Book - thank you for the kind words, referrals, and boundless enthusiasm to connect people in the industry. Another wonderful panel with Searsha, Simon Appleby and Kelly Weekes - and the drinks did arrive!

Rose Sandy - possibly our most enthusiastic new customer. Thanks so much for coming to see us - your energy and personality is infectious.

Supadu - great team, great party-throwers!

David Roche - thank you for putting your book on Shimmr, and for your company at the fair

Our friends at the UNDP, MBRF and the China Stand - thank you for including us in your speaking slots.

And we couldn’t miss out the amount of fun we had welcoming Brittany Pinney to the team, partly because of the number of confusions between her and Brooke Dobson... (our Chief Revenue Officer and Chief Customer Officer are identical twin sisters!)

Finally, thank you to The London Book Fair for another fabulous event, and to everyone who hosted our speakers, that we met, that we pitched to (!), and who tracked us down - we appreciate you all.
