Update

A few people have asked me for the image above or similar to add to their website so I made the following image you can copy and use.

Or copy and paste the following code:

<a href="http://www.spoiltchild.com/picturebook-childrens-publishing-influencers-uk-ireland/"><img src="http://www.spoiltchild.com/images/top-childrens-book-influencer-500px.png" alt="Top 500 childrens books influencer" width="300" /></a>
Top 500 childrens book influencers

A few notes about this data.

ย 

Being relatively new to the picture book world I wanted to understand it better. More specifically I did not want to miss any books, news or events I might be interested in.

My day job is marketing so I applied that knowledge to the UK and Ireland children’s book market.

I manually researched the leading people in the industry /community and created a sample list. From that sample list I ran it through some of my own marketing tools to find out who are the people, publishers, books shops and publications that most people follow and listen to.

This list is then ranked according to how many children’s books people follow them.

The thousands of results were then filtered down to the top 500 people and organisations, catagorised and researched for additional data.

Sources: The data is based on Twitter and Instagram research and of course not all influential people are on social media (but most of them are).

What’s the point?
