Who’s going to be the first to book up my last few Oct/Nov slots? Authors, indie journals or small presses? I’m a full service editor and work with fiction, cnf, poetry, scripts. PLUS I have special rates for N Ireland writers, since I love seeing more NI books & chapbooks in the world.

Taking selfies in coffee shops, waiting on authors to discuss edits to their books. It’s never just about editing & somehow always turns into a bit of life coaching 💚

The indie booksellers sell books on better terms that ultimately support the wider industry. It's like selling a house for people to live in versus stripping it for parts, copper, etc, and leaving nothing habitable.
Reminder: Kennys Bookshop delivers for free in Ireland. Easons have free delivery over 10 euros (and also sell toys and games and stationary). Lots of lovely booksellers in the actual stores too, like Books Upstairs, Gutter Bookshop, Hodges Figgis.
