The
category winners will be decided by seven panels of judges, and a separate
panel will go on to choose the overall Book of the Year. The category winners
and the Book of the Year will be revealed at a glamorous awards ceremony on
Monday 14 May at Grosvenor House in central London which will bring together
authors, publishers, booksellers and literary agents for a night celebrating
the entire book industry.
New for 2018, the British
Book Awards will also celebrate an author and illustrator who have achieved
outstanding commercial success alongside making a genuine contribution to the
general health of the book world.
Nigel Roby, Publisher of
The Bookseller, said: “The British
Book Awards are about recognising all the elements that contribute to a healthy
book trade and ensuring that more books reach more readers. Having an award for
Author of the Year makes absolute sense. Similarly, illustrators are a vital
part of expanding book readership, especially among young readers, and should
be recognised.”
Produced by leading industry
magazine The Bookseller, the British Book Awards represent a high point
in the book trade’s calendar, with winners including Publisher of the Year,
Independent Bookshop of the Year and Editor of the Year. The Books
of the Year awards recognise the publishing as well as the books, with both
author and publisher as recipients of the prize.
