Winners get VIP entry to The London Book Fair, access to The Club at the Ivy’s LBF pop-up, an invitation to join the PA and LBF at a Book Society dinner, an invitation to a dedicated SYP networking event at LBF, tickets to the LBF International Excellence Awards and more. The winners will also be celebrated at the Fair itself.

Under the streams, Write Your Own Story, Rulebreakers and By the Book, the SYP’s 2018 Autumn Conference will shine a light on the movers and shakers, big and small, that are changing the face of the industry and carving new paths for publishing success.
