Greece is making a strong return to the London Book Fair, running from Tuesday, March 11, to Thursday, March 13, 2025, reaffirming its significant role on the international publishing stage.

The London Book Fair, one of the most prestigious events in the literary world, has been held annually since 1971, attracting over 30,000 publishing professionals each year. It serves as a key hub for networking and information exchange within the global publishing community.

At Greece’s national stand (Stand 5D101) at the Olympia Exhibition and Conference Centre, more than 360 publications in Greek and other languages will be showcased, including editions from the Ministry of Culture and its affiliated organizations and cultural institutions.

Additionally, translated works supported by GreekLit—the translation subsidy program that promotes Greek literary production across various genres—will be presented. Over 50 Greek publishers and cultural entities will participate, highlighting contemporary Greek literature and its international potential.

The Greek pavilion will also feature specially designed print and digital materials, as well as video presentations that bring the works and voices of modern Greek authors to the forefront.

Greece’s professional and cultural program at the London Book Fair includes active participation in industry seminars and roundtable discussions, alongside the organization of cultural events both within and beyond the exhibition venue.

These initiatives offer visitors a unique opportunity to explore the Greek publishing landscape and foster connections with authors, publishers, editors, and literary agents.

A team of eight Greek publishers will also engage in scheduled business meetings with other national delegations, literary agents, and representatives from international publishing houses and literary festivals.

The program is being implemented in collaboration with Greek and international publishers, members of the Hellenic Foundation for Books and Culture (ELIVIP) and GreekLit, Hellenists from British universities (including King’s College and Cambridge), and with the support of the Embassy of Greece in London and the British Council Greece and Cyprus.
