Know How seminars at Non/Fiction

 

Russian publishers attending the Non/Fiction book fair on 2 December were given a fantastic opportunity to take part in the new Know How seminars led by experts in the UK book industry and organized by the Federal Agency for Press and Mass Communications, the London Book Fair, Academia Rossica and the British Council.

 

This was the fourth session in a series of seminars which has been organized as part of the Russia Market Focus at the London Book Fair 2011 project.

 

The Know How seminars for publishers covered topics such as Digital Innovation, Book Data, and Business with the UK Market. Speakers included high-profile UK publishers and industry professionals such as Simon Littlewood, the International Director at Random House, Rosalind Ramsay, a UK literary scout, Peter Collingridge from Enhanced Editions, and Lucy Huddlestone from Nielsen BookData.

 

The seminars also gave all participants a chance to network and discuss the most pressing problems facing the book industry today.
