We are delighted to announce that
Alma Books
has been shortlisted for the
IPG Trade Publisher of the Year Award 2013.
IPG Trade Publisher of the Year Award 2013.
It is a shortlist of three, and in the running are also
Constable & Robinson (who won in 2012) and
John Blake Publishing (who won in 2010). The
winner will be announced at the IPG Conference
Gala Dinner on 7th March 2013. Alma was already
shortlisted for the award in 2011.
Here is the judges’ comments on our shortlist:
“Alma Books is shortlisted on the back of a year of
commercial print success, exponential ebook sales
growth and substantial critical acclaim. Judges
admired its commitment to translated fiction and
outstanding website, plus its instinct for picking up
little-heard-of authors who are likely to appeal in the UK.
‘Alma is a small independent publisher with no obvious
weak spots. It is finding authors and books in a way
most other publishers are not.’ ”
Fingers crossed and, as ever, thank you for your support
(and all your emails this morning).
Elisabetta Minervini and Alessandro Gallenzi
