The London Book Fair is the global marketplace for story creators, the hub of the publishing world and the industry’s essential spring chapter.

From the publishers and dealmakers to the copyright pros, the commissioners and the global licensers, including those involved in rights negotiation, at LBF, we unite the book community for three days of business, networking and learning.

The London Book Fair (LBF) is the world’s largest spring book trade and publishing event, and returned to its home at Olympia London from 18 – 20 April 2023. The London Book Fair has announced the Authors of the Day line up for the 2023 fair, LBF23, which will feature Pulitzer Prize winner Colson Whitehead as International Author of the Day, bestselling crime novelist Ann Cleeves as Adult Author of the Day, Murder Most Unladylike creator Robin Stevens as Children’s Author of the Day, and Nibbies winner Dapo Adeola as Illustrator of the Fair.
