After rocketing up the charts in December to secure the Christmas number one spot, Murdle by G. T. Karber won the Non-Fiction: Lifestyle and Illustrated category at the British Book Awards on 13th May, going on to be named Book of the Year. Murdle was Profile’s third Christmas number one since Nielsen began records.
As well as a fantastic night for Murdle, Profile was also named Independent Publisher of the Year. The judges commended Profile for its ‘canny commissioning and resourceful marketing’ as well as its ‘excellent’ author care and ability to ‘squeeze every drop of potential out of every book’.
We are delighted with our wins from the Nibbies and proud of the entire Profile team for this incredible achievement.
