BookMasters Has Exciting Time
at the London Book Fair
The BookMasters team, comprised of Dave Wurster, Rich
Freese, Jeremy Nurnberg, Amanda Dowdy, and Deb
Keets, had a sensational time at the London Book Fair,
April 20 through 22. Publishers from Europe as well as
other areas of the globe met with members of the team to
discuss distribution, printing, e-book, and other publishing
services.
The team enjoyed getting to see many of our European
friends and partners, which gave them the chance to talk
about all that is “new and happening” at BookMasters,
expanding our relationships with each visit.
From the various meetings that the team had,
BookMasters came home with not only opportunities for
new partnerships with publishers for our various services,
but the potential to form alliances that will help showcase
BookMasters as a global industry leader.
The team arrived home full of excitement and anticipation
of what the next few months will hold for everyone at
BookMasters. Everyone felt this was the start of great
things to come in the next few months and a great segue
for a successful BookExpo America (BEA) in May.
