Bonnier Books UK has secured five nominations ahead of this year’s British Book Awards.
A trio of titles have landed on the shortlist in the Book of the Year categories. Two Sunday Times #1s go head-to-head in the Non-Fiction: Lifestyle & Illustrated category, with Joe Wicks’ hit book of recipes Protein in 15 (LEAP) shortlisted alongside Donna Ashworth’s acclaimed To the Women (Black & White). Meanwhile, Rosie Goodwin is nominated once again, with Our Sweet Violet (Zaffre) contending for Romance Fiction.
In the Trade section, our children’s imprint Autumn led by Mike Heron, secured a well-deserved spot on the Editor & Imprint of the Year shortlist, with judges praising its “excellent use of big brands in the children’s learning and non-fiction space.”
Finally, the International Sales team will have the opportunity to defend its crown in the Export category, having won at last year’s ceremony, and placing on the shortlist for a sixth straight year following a record 2025.
Winners will be announced at the ceremony on Monday 11th May 2026.
