BookBrunch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BookBrunch is a British subscription-based website and digital newsletter for the international publishing industry. It is jointly edited by Nicholas Clee and Neill Denny, both former editors of The Bookseller.[1] Nicholas Clee is a former judge of the Booker Prize[2] and author.[3][4] Neill Denny was previously editor of Retail Week.[5]
As well as a daily news email, BookBrunch produces print Show Dailies for both the London Book Fair and the Frankfurt Book Fair in partnership with Publishers Weekly, the American weekly book trade news magazine,[6] as well as a magazine to accompany the Sharjah International Book Fair.[7]
Nicholas Clee and Liz Thomson, former editor of the now defunct trade paper Publishing News (1979–2008),[8] set up BookBrunch in 2008 with private backing.[9] Bibliographic Data Services (BDS), a data provision and web hosting company, bought a majority share in the service in 2011, when Eric Green, Managing Director of Digital at BDS, became BookBrunch's CEO.[10][11] Liz Thomson left BookBrunch in 2015,[12] with Neill Denny joining in January 2016.[13]
