("Quarto" or "the Group")
The Quarto Group shortlisted for two 2017 British Book
Awards,
including Publisher of the Year
The Quarto Group is pleased to announce that it is one of eight
publishers shortlisted for the prestigious Publisher of the Year
award in the 2017 British Book Awards. In addition, Group Director
of Foreign Rights, Karine Marko is shortlisted in the Rights
Professional of The Year category.
The British Book Awards, or Nibbies, is managed by trade
publication The Bookseller and is the definitive event for
honouring the commercial successes of publishers, authors and
bookshops. The Nibbies brings together books of the year with trade
accolades such as publisher of the year and book retailer of the
year.
In the Publisher of the Year category, Quarto is shortlisted
alongside Michael Joseph (Penguin Random House), Penguin General
(PRH), Quercus (Hachette), Little Brown Book Group (Hachette),
HarperCollins, Pan Macmillan and Transworld (PRH).
Commenting on the shortlist, The Bookseller said: "The Quarto
Group shows that a publisher does not need to scale the bestseller
lists to have a remarkable year. Its 45 imprints are growing into a
powerhouse in illustrated non-fiction, and its children's rights
teams have had a very strong 2016."
In the Foreign Rights Professional of the Year category, the
people shortlisted alongside Karine Marko are from Penguin Random
House, Little, Brown Book Group, Hachette Children's, Summersdale
and Nosy Crow. The Bookseller commented: "Karine Marko leads a team
that have sold foreign rights to around 50 countries and had a
best-ever year in 2016."
Marcus Leaver, Chief Executive of The Quarto Group, commented:
"Well done to everyone at Quarto and especially to Karine and her
talented team for this recognition. We're very proud to be included
on this list. It is a testament to the hard work, passion and
ambition of our teams around the world."
The full shortlist is available here and was first announced at
London Book Fair. The Award Ceremony will take place in central
London on 8 May.
