"There are 66 publishers at this year’s event. 66 arguments for the book and the idea of the book. 66 examples of what a small press can do."
"The inventory is whatever will fit into two rucksacks and two carrier bags. To be hauled, on foot, between tram, train and tube. City to city. One year to the next."

I'm not going to lie: this is a reassuring post to read. Thanks Caroline, thanks @smallpublishers.bsky.social, thanks @cbeditions.bsky.social 🙏🏼 😘😉
Just finished Lara Pawson's Spent Light (bought at @smallpublishers.bsky.social) and it's every bit as good as everyone else says: unnervingly direct, startling, vivid

Today's featured author is Anna Reckin. Anna's pamphlet 'Lavender and Other Colours Anna Reckin : Lavender and other colours explore perfume’s hybridity – how it engages with the natural world while also being highly synthesised – with colour used as referent and filter to negotiate its many layers.

Small Publishers Fair @smallpublishers.bsky.social is the best event in the UK imo. Comrades in art and writing coming together for a joyously exhausting weekend of chats (and sales!). None of this would happen without the hard work and vision of the fantastic Helen Mitchell.
Thanks to everyone who visited the Longbarrow stall at @smallpublishers.bsky.social; our tablemates @intergraphiabooks.bsky.social & all the publishers/stallholders; the Conway Hall staff; and special thanks to Helen Mitchell & team for working so hard to make it such a memorable & successful event.
