BookBrunch
BookBrunch is a subscription-based website and digital newsletter for the book industry based in the UK. It is jointly edited by Nicholas Clee and Neill Denny, both former editors of The Bookseller (1999-2004 and 2004-12 respectively). Nick Clee has published several books and was a judge of the Booker Prize in 1993. Neill Denny was previously editor of Retail Week (1999-2004).
As well as a daily news email, BookBrunch produces print Show Dailies for both the London and the Frankfurt Book Fairs in partnership with Publishers Weekly (PW), the American weekly trade news magazine, as well as a magazine to accompany the Sharjah International Book Fair.
History[edit]
Nicholas Clee and Liz Thomson, former editor of the defunct trade paper Publishing News, set up BookBrunch in 2008 with private backing. Bibliographic Data Services (BDS), a data provision and web hosting company, bought a majority share in the service in 2011, when Eric Green, Managing Director of Digital at BDS, became BookBrunch’s CEO. Liz Thomson left BookBrunch in 2015, with Neill Denny joining to replace her in January 2016.
Present day[edit]
In addition to the joint editors, Claire Coughlan and Julie Vuong provide editorial support and interviews, and there is a roster of regular contributors including Roger Tagholm (a round-up of international book industry news), Alastair Horne (academic and STM news), and Nicolette Jones (children’s news).[1]
Jo Henry, formerly of BML, Publishing News and Nielsen Book, has been Managing Director since April 2018[2], and David Roche, previously of HarperCollins, Waterstones and Borders, is the non-executive Chair.
BookBrunch’s daily email of news is read by thousands of influential book people daily, mainly in the UK but also from around the world. News content covers acquisition deals by publishers, company results, job changes, literary awards, festivals, plus columnists and profiles.
BookBrunch has a media partnership with the London Book Fair (LBF) to support the LBF’s Trailblazer Awards, created to celebrate the next generation of the UK publishing industry.
