About the Show
Be Seen at the Bologna Book Fair New Title Showcase For more than 60 years, the Bologna Book Fair has been one of the world’s most influential publishing events, attracting over 1,400 exhibitors and 35,000 publishing professionals and the public each year. This is the fair where J.K. Rowling and the Harry Potter series were first discovered-and where new voices continue to gain global attention. In 2021, BolognaBookPlus (BBPlus) was launched to expand the fair into the adult trade market. Led by Guest Director Jacks Thomas, former Director of The London Book Fair (2013–2020), BBPlus has quickly become a must-attend destination for authors, publishers, agents, and production companies looking for fresh content and new opportunities. Official New Title Showcase (NTS) The Combined Book Exhibit (CBE) has been asked to coordinate the New Title Showcase (NTS) as an official exhibit of the fair. This curated showcase offers high-visibility placement and will be heavily promoted before and during the fair, ensuring your title is seen by key decision-makers. Your book will also be featured in: ? A downloadable digital exhibit catalog with full title and contact information ? A searchable online catalog that remains active for two years, extending your exposure well beyond the event What Your Registration Includes ? Physical display of your title in a prime exhibition location ? Listing in the digital CBE catalog ?
