As we bid farewell to another successful London Book Fair, we can’t help but once again be grateful by the invaluable conversations, connections and knowledge exchanged during this global gathering.
|
|
|
|
We had the privilege of engaging with publishers, authors, agents, and industry leaders from every corner of the globe, and the innovations and insights gleamed from our time in London will extend far beyond the fair itself.
|
|
|
Before the LBF even officially began, the UK Publisher’s Association was capitalizing on the event, using the global stage to call on politicians to see the industry’s value.

IN THE INDUSTRY WITH INGRAM
|
|
|
|
|
The eve of the London Book Fair, the UK's Publishers Association unveiled research showing that the country's publishing sector contributes £11 billion to the economy, with potential for further growth to the tune of £5.6 billion and 43,000 jobs by 2033 with proper government support.
|
|
|
International demand for UK publishing is expected to increase by 20% in the next decade, highlighting its global appeal.

You could be missing out on not just the UK book market, but all international markets if your metadata doesn’t include Thema codes.

Metadata Matters: Don’t Miss Out on Global Discoverability
|
|
|
Starting in February of 2024, the UK BIC standard subject categories are no longer valid. Thema, a globally recognized system for categorizing books for commercial trade, academic and library markets, offers precise and detailed subject classification across international markets.

|
Enhance your titles' visibility and success by updating their metadata with Thema subject codes today. Let your books shine on a global stage!

Breaking Language Barriers: How Translation Services Can Expand Your Books' Reach
|
While a large number of people in the business world, for example, speak their native language plus English, less than 20% of the world's population speaks English. That means there's more than 80% who won't be able to read the books you're publishing if you don't translate them.

Enhancing Reach: The Fundamentals of eBook Accessibility
|
Outside of convenience, eBooks are becoming more popular because they have settings and options that can be used to adjust the reading experience, unlike paperback or hardcover books that have no way to adjust things like text size or contrast settings to accommodate low vision readers.
