Well the 2026 London Book Fair is in the history books. I was thrilled to have When The Night Bird Sings featured by BOOKS ON SHELVES.
Over thirty thousand visitors flooded the two day show that featured over a thousand exhibitors. The event was held at Olympia, London, a historic 140-year-old exhibition venue in West Kensington. The site has undergone a £1.3 billion transformation into a major cultural, entertainment, and business district, set for completion in 2026.
It will feature a 4,000-seat music venue, a 1,575-seat theatre, over 30 new restaurants and bars, two hotels, and extensive public, green spaces . It's the last year the Book Fair will be held in this venue as it is moving to ExCel London on the cities east side in 2027.
While I wait for specific information on how well When The Night Bird Sings did and what offers the book attracted. I'm thrilled about being in this venue and look forward to the report on how well the exhibit did.
