The London Book Fair 2021

After a cancellation of its 2020 edition due to the COVID-19 pandemic, The London Book Fair 2021 will return as a fully virtual event in 2021. Free to visitors, the special edition of LBF 2021 will offer a rich conference programme between 7 - 10 June and a series of online formats that will offer professionals flexible ways to do business, network, learn, and share ideas, taking place from 21 June to 1 July 2021.

The international event is focused on licensing and rights, technology and publishing solutions as well as bookselling. During the three busy days of LBF small, mid-sized and large publishing companies from England and nearly 60 other countries present their work across the expo's 4 sectors - Poetry Collective, The Illustrators' Gallery, Writer's Block and New Title Showcase. Over 25 international pavilions are available.

Approximately 25,000 professionals - authors, publishers, booksellers, literary agents, translators, editors, designers, buyers and sellers of rights, content, publishing services and related products - meet at Olympia. The London Book Fair's networking opportunities are among the main reasons for visiting the event.
