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.

Had such a beautiful time tonight @serenitybookshop.bsky.social in Stockport. A gorgeous wee shop and a great community feel. I could have talked with Andrew McMillan all night - very hard for me to not switch back into interviewer mode when talking with such brilliant writers. Thanks all!
