Rising Stars 2022

The Bookseller's Rising Stars is an annual list of the book industry’s up and comers. The 2022 list shows a group with a determined, DIY ethos, often working to advance the trade as a whole rather than for individual gain.  See also Rising Stars for 2021 and Rising Stars for 2020
