I had a MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL thread on Twitter that it had become a bit of a tradition for me to retweet and sometimes add to annually, and I'm going to recreate it here! Buckle in, folks! x

Do you write genre fiction? Want the inside scoop on the UK's newest queer small press? Keen to ask us awkward questions?

Come to the Cymera Writer's Conference, and hear two bona omi-palones cackle about zhushing books.
We'll be chatting with indie publisher Bona Books about their journey from reader/writer to setting up a publishing house.
