What a fab way to spend a lunchtime. Thanks to #GlasgowWomensLibrary for an interesting and inspiring #storycafe with the authors of A Most Unsuitable Game. With proceeds all going to #grassroots football, I had to buy a copy, and can't wait to read it!

Our paper on ‘A Most Unsuitable Game’ was awarded the conference prize for inclusivity at #FootyCon25 International Football History Conference in Belfast. A great recognition for the diversity of voices in the book and the work centring women’s stories and women’s experiences.

A wee stall at the Publishing Scotland Scottish Book Trade Conference - lovely day and lots of good contacts. The quiz was a bit tough though.
