Join SYP’s online session with Emma Bradshaw, Head of Campaigns at the Booksellers Association (BA), to learn more about how publishers can get involved with and support bookshops. From the key campaign dates (e.g. Bookshop Day, Independent Bookshop Week) to ongoing initiatives like the Indie Book of the Month, Emma will be discussing the BA’s consumer-facing activity, highlighting what are the opportunities for publishers to get involved with e.g. events, signings, partnerships, title exposure, media coverage and more.

Emma’s presentation will be followed by a Q&A, so bring along your bookshop-related questions!
