Book fair season - but not as we know it

It is as though ‘Bologna-time’ is hard-wired into children’s publishers; the smell of spring in the air makes us think of our new publishing, new potential deals and exciting times ahead. Travelling to Italy certainly helps the feeling, but it turns out that it still happens for us whilst at home!

Over the last fortnight the Macmillan Children’s Books Rights team of 10 colleagues has held a virtual Spring Fair with 250+ sales meetings with international publishers across 50 countries.
