The first Bookseller Industry Awards shortlist has been announced with 16 categories covering the publishing and retail industry.
The awards combine the British Book Industry Awards, also known as the trade Nibbies, and The
Bookseller's own Retail Awards.
Neill Denny, editor-in-chief of The Bookseller, said: “The shortlist represents an exceptionally strong group of people and companies, all of whom have inspiring stories of excellence and creativity. We will be telling them over the next few weeks, ahead of unveiling the winners in May. We wish them all good luck.”
Winners will be announced at the awards ceremony on 17th May at the Royal Courts of Justice.

It's really good to see all the nominations across the industry, I can't help but notice there's one department that seems to be omitted from the awards and that is the sales person. I am aware that this used to be included but would like to know why and who felt it necessary to completely disregard the sales departments across the industry from the awards.
I would like to see this included next year as without the sales teams books would not be sold to the retailers!
Too right Sales Person!!!
How did they miss out us grafters of the industry?
is it me...
how on earth can Sainsbury/Tesco be considered Children booksellers...& I am, sure the buyer from Sainsbury's is a nice person...BUT she is a buyer! & what on earth has Bertrams done to be considered for Innovation in the supply chain,other than to stay in business!
Hi ,
It is really nice to see Search Press and many other Publisher's Name with whom we are working, Really we feel like Pride working with these Publisher's
No Waterstones?
..and as a former winner of Sales Person of the Year, I strongly urge you to bring it back,perhaps former winners could sponsor it? Only provision I'd make is that the winner needs to have loud dress sense!
It's a shame the real "Nibbies" wont be given out this year!
The Book Nook is a little drop of heaven. The ladies sell a fantastic array of books, engeage the community and beyond with story/ rhymetime and..they sell fantastically massive cakes.
