The 2025 London International Book Fair wasn’t just another event—it was a global declaration that books still move nations, and Fortham Publishers was right at the heart of it.
Held from March 11th to 13th at Olympia London, the event brought together over 30,000 publishing professionals and more than 1,000 exhibitors from across the world. It was a powerhouse of innovation, ideas, and impact. And for Fortham Publishers, it was a defining moment—an international stage where our voice, our vision, and our value were amplified.
We didn’t just attend. We stood out.
As the Founder and Managing Director of Fortham Publishers Limited and an Executive Council Member of the Nigerian Publishers Association, I experienced firsthand the beauty of collaboration, diversity, and the hunger for authentic, value-driven content. Fortham carried a unique presence—driven by a strong resolve to help authors succeed, to tell African stories with excellence, and to bring quality books into classrooms, homes, and hands.
We are not just another publishing house. We are nation builders through books.
From our Ministry-approved educational series used across Nigerian schools, to our well-researched biographies and soul-lifting children’s titles, Fortham’s publishing legacy continues to inspire learning, leadership, and legacy.
WHAT MADE THIS FAIR SPECIAL FOR US?
We connected with international distributors and platforms hungry for fresh, African-rooted content.
We attracted attention to our children’s books, faith-based titles, and biography collections—areas where we are setting new benchmarks.
We positioned Fortham as a reliable, innovative, and professional publishing brand ready to take on global collaborations.
We witnessed a world ready and waiting for the kind of excellence we deliver—and we’re stepping forward, bigger and better.
OUR GLOBAL FOOTPRINT
The 2025 London Book Fair marked the third major international publishing event attended by Fortham Publishers in under two years, following our participation at the Frankfurt International Book Fair in Germantown (October 2023) and the Beijing International Book Fair in China (June 2024).
Each of these global events has strengthened our voice, widened our network, and deepened our understanding of what readers and publishers across continents are seeking. From Europe to Asia to Africa, Fortham Publishers is proudly representing Nigerian publishing on the world stage—and bringing those insights back home to empower our clients, authors, and readers.
