London

London is the center of the UK's book fair calendar, hosting the London Book Fair each spring, one of the world's major publishing trade events where rights are bought and sold across every genre and territory.

Alongside this industry-facing fair, the city supports a wide range of public literary festivals and author events throughout the year, drawing on its dense concentration of publishers, agents, and bookshops. London's size and diversity mean its literary events cover essentially every genre, format, and audience, from major trade shows to small independent bookshop readings.
