The Publishers' Publicity Circle (PPC) has revealed the shortlists for its 2011 awards, including its new Librarian of the Year prize.
The awards are given to publicists responsible for the best PR campaigns carried out in 2011, and include the PPC Award for Hardback Non-Fiction, with nominations for Riot Communications' Anwen Hooson and Viking's Amelia Fairney for the campaign for Claire Tomalin's Charles Dickens: A Life, and Bloomsbury's Katie Bond for The Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother by Amy Chua.
Campaigns for memoirs of Bear Grylls, Shaun Ryder and Rob Brydon are in the running for the London Book Fair Award for Hardback Non-Fiction (Celebrity). Meanwhile Bertrams, with The Reading Agency, is a new sponsor for the Hardback Fiction Award, which includes Bethan Jones at Harvill Secker's campaign for The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern and Frances Owen's campaign for Say Her Name by Francisco Goldman at Atlantic.
In the running for the inaugural PPC Librarian of the Year 2011 are Tim O'Dell of Lambeth Libraries, and Heather McNally of Kent Libraries.
The winners will be voted for by PPC members, and will be announced on the 15th February at the PPC Annual Awards dinner.
