Spent the morning of my birthday yesterday in London at the beautiful Conway Hall chatting all things Independent Publishing as part of the Indie Press Network Marketing and PR day. Had a wonderful time talking to Ann Morgan alongside my old Blackwell’s colleague Zool and Cat from Burley Fisher.

A serene evening at @serenitybookshop.bsky.social , with @oziasmidwinter.bsky.social 's hospitality & @andrewmcmillan.bsky.social 's shrewd interviewing of @damianbarr.bsky.social about The Two Roberts. A joyful time (typography fans: I learnt how to say 'florón' in English!). Highly recommended.
