The British Book Awards, aka The Nibbies, represent the absolute best of the book trade, showcasing the books, bookshops, agents and publishers who make this industry shine.
The Awards were first launched in 1990 and are now run by The Bookseller. There are two halves to the British Book Awards, there's the Books of the Year and the Book Trade Awards. These different aspects of the awards seek to celebrate the books that defied expectations and the industry who brought them to readers.
The Books of the Year section of the British Book Awards are unique because they demonstrate that a book's sucess is not down to a sigle factor. Success is the result of the author's creative genius, the agent and the publisher's skill and support and the retailers who work to champoin it once it hits the sherves, to name just a few aspects of te process. Each of the shortlisted title are unapologetically about sucess, but that is not always defined by who has been at the top of the bestseller lists.
2022 welcomes exciting new changes to the awards categories. The Books of the Year strand will now include the Discover Book of the Year, aimed at underrepresented writers across genres, and a split of the Children’s awards into Non-fiction and Illustrated, in addition to the Fiction award. There will also be two Audiobook awards this year, representing the strong growth in that market: these will be for Fiction and Non-fiction. On the Trade side, 2022 sees the return of the Individual Bookseller of the Year award, recognising the vital role booksellers continue to play in the sector. These build on the new awards launched last year, which included Designer of the Year—for the best-in-class book designer—and Pageturner of the Year—aimed at popular fiction titles across all formats.
