Until 2006 the London Book Fair had been held at the Olympia exhibition centre, but it moved to the ExCeL Exhibition Centre in London's Docklands that year. Due to generally unfavourable feedback from attendees over the new location with several reasons such as the inconvenience of transport links or the infrastructure of the location, also the intervention resulting form other exhibitions and their wandering visitors [3], the book fair returned to west London in 2007 and took place at Earls Court Exhibition Centre from 16 to 18 April. Every year since 2007 The London Book Fair has been held at the Earls Court Exhibition Centre. LBF 2015 will take place in Olympia London on 14–16 April 2015 as part of London Book And Screen Week.
London Book and Screen Week
Launched in 2014, London Book and Screen Week was designed to celebrate the importance of the book and the written words at the heart of creative content across all formats. Comprising a week of events, the pinnacle of the week was The London Book Fair for the 43rd edition.
Taking place in a variety of venues across the capital, London Book and Screen Week welcomed all the publishing industry insiders and professionals involved in writing, reading and creating content for books and screens in all formats from e-reader to silver screen.
It incorporated, among others, the Publishing for Digital Minds Conference, the recently launched Tech Tuesday, writers from this year’s Market Focus and a direct-to-consumer creative writing event.
The week focussed on the business of publishing and storytelling from concept to consumer, shining a spotlight on authors, industry leaders, screen writers, agents, publishers, retailers, etailers, developers, technology gurus and start-ups. London Book and Screen Week 2015 occurred for five days, from Monday 07 until Friday, 13 April, 2015.
More than 25,000 publishers, booksellers, literary agents, librarians, media and industry suppliers from over 100 countries now attend the fair as the figures mentioned by Jacks Thomas, Director of The London Book Fair.[4] Book publishers come to London to announce their upcoming titles and to sell and purchase subsidiaries and translation rights for books from other publishers.
