Publishers & Agents

Shipston Bookfest is quite simply the Cotswolds’ finest fest for books— warm, witty, and wonderfully book-mad.

Since our launch in 2024, Shipston Bookfest has worked with major publishers to bring brilliant authors — from Sunday Times bestsellers to debut novelists — to the festival, delivering memorable events for our engaged, book-loving audience in the north Cotswolds. 

We've been proud to welcome authors including Ben Miller, Prue Leith, David Larbi, Simon Mason, and Adele Parks, and we have worked with a range of publishers including Penguin, HarperCollins, Quercus, Duckworth, Head of Zeus, Orion, Bloomsbury, Bonnier, Quarto, Picador, and Simon & Schuster. 

We programme events for adults, children, and families, and we're always interested in authors whose work would resonate with our audiences.  If you have an author you think would be a great fit, please reach out below...
