Can’t quite believe it’s time already… but here’s the latest #christmascard Classic, once again supporting our friends Three Peas. This year, instead of a Christmas card, why not send a book and support the work of a refugee charity! 💚💚💚

Happy Hallowe’en to all, and to all a good fright…

Getting in the mood with some #gothic fiction. How many of these have you read? 🤔

The lovely folks at CMP Books have just sent this gorgeous video of one of our latest books swinging from screen to book. (We’ve added some technical jargon to explain the process.)

(I think Gertrude Stein would appreciate the salon jazz, but might be somewhat baffled by the modern process…)

This month for our #ShufflingtheShelves feature, where our authors recommend gems in our backlist, writer Clare Colvin tells us a bit about short stories, and what inspired her collection Stone Children.

It’s a tough old industry – but I don’t think AI is the answer. 😂 Are you coming to our free marketing training day for small presses next week?

Something rather exciting is coming in three short weeks – a beautiful collection of excerpts, poems, short stories, scenes from all the authors we’ve published in our first five years.

📚 All proceeds to our Bookbanks scheme.

ICYMI yesterday we had to ask #booksky for help. Our bank had an admin error and drained our account.

📚 In 24h you ordered £750 of books – here’s 2/3 of them! Overwhelmed, relieved, hugely grateful. Thank you. 🧡

🍌 Banana, as is custom, for scale. Fairtrade, ofc. 💚🐸

#booksky, can you help? In so many ways this has been a glorious week of collaboration and support, but it’s ended on a downer…

How do you make a publisher blush? 😳

It was a real joy to see Sandi Toksvig’s show last night promoting Friends of Dorothy (Virago). We thought we were there to support @mayeroflondon.bsky.social, whose novel TIME/LIFE has been widely recommended by Sandi – but here’s what actually happened.

Our glittering offering to the great Oscar Wilde, born #otd in 1854.

Some rather lovely #bookpost to start the day – welcoming this #modernist murder mystery to the Gertrude Stein collection.

One of her most avant-garde pieces, this is a brilliant snapshot of a summer spent in the French countryside, where all is not as it seems…

Sometimes when editing it’s necessary to find an early edition of a long-out-of-print book to source the text or check something as simple as a misplaced apostrophe… 🧵 1/3
