The BIG Indie Book Launch comes to
the ‘cathedral of books' on London's
Charing Cross Road: FOYLES!
Hosted by LitPR (www.literallypr.com@literallyprinfo@literallypr.com)
London, United Kingdom, 1stJune 2023: Celebrating the fabulousness of independentpublishers and indie authors, the prize-winning UK publicity company, Literally PR (LitPR) is launching a new, inclusive, fun book launch event to the publishing calendar.
The BIG Indie Book Launchwill see not one but a whopping TWELVE books launching at the same time, at the sixth floor auditorium in the iconic Foyles Charing Cross Road.
Showcasing the finest that UK indie publishing has to offer, this promises to be a wonderful opportunity for journalists, reviewers, bookstagrammers, book bloggers, librarians, booksellers and literary agents to chat with indie authors and publishers, with some surprises along the way!
In keeping with the LitPR summer party tradition, every guest will be gifted a tote bag on arrival. They are then set the challenge of walking around the room to meet authors and publishers, collect merch and goodies for their bags, and of course, a few books!
With a scavenger hunt competition, free-flowing wine, soft drinks and delicious canapes, readings from the amazing 12 books, and plenty of opportunities to kick back and enjoy, this is a summer party that is set to become a highlight of the publishing calendar.
Helen Lewis, director and founder of LitPR, which has worked with more than 550 authors/publishers over the past 12 years, says:"Our aim is to create a successful, positive book launch experience for everyone involved to remember for a long time, with none of the awkwardness of networking events, thanks to the things to do, people to meet, books to discover. Publishing parties can sometimes be a bit dry, book launch events are tricky to orchestrate well, and networking events can leave some of us feeling out of the loop. My team and I will be on hand to ensure that everything runs smoothly and our goal is that people leave feeling connected, included, and part of our new TBC (The Bookish Community)."
