Nibbies Salon The British Book Awards inaugural events

One event per month:

A new event series from Team Nibbies

The British Book Awards celebrates all that goes into the creation of a book, from the words forming in the author's mind to the finished product landing in the reader's hands (or headphones!). With that in mind we are delighted to introduce the NIBBIES SALON: a new series featuring Nibbies-winning authors alongside members of their publishing teams. These events will give audiences a glimpse into everything from the editorial process to the author-agent relationship to the magic worked by the marketers and publicists who bring these titles to market.

Our three inaugural events are:

SATHNAM SANGHERA
20th October

Our winner in the Non-Fiction: Narrative category joins us to discuss his book Empireland and how Olivia Mead and Annie Moore from his marketing and publicity team helped this timely and cultural book reach readers at a truly critical historical moment. Chaired by Caroline Sanderson, associate editor, The Bookseller.

CLARE CHAMBERS
8th November

Clare Chambers took home our Pageturner award on Nibbies night, and joins us in November alongside her publicist Virginia Woolstencroft, her agent Judith Murray and Orion's Waterstones account manager Esther Waters to discuss all that went into last year's word-of-mouth hit, Small Pleasures. Chaired by Alice O'Keeffe, books editor, The Bookseller.

PHIL EARLE & CARL ANKA
7th December

This evening's double-header takes place in House of St Barnabas' chapel, featuring double-Nibbie winning Carl Anka in conversation with his editor Cate Augustin and Children's Fiction winner Phil Earle in conversation with his editor, Charlie Sheppard. Chaired by Caroline Carpenter, children's editor, The Bookseller.

The first three events will take place at 7pm at The House of St Barnabas, London. Reserve your tickets now, and as always email polly.smith@thebookseller.com if you have any questions.
